Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Morocco Li Chang Lin reiterated his country’s position on the “sacred and unshakable unity of China and Taiwan.”
In a statement to Hespress AR, the diplomat said that “Taiwan belongs to the Chinese nation,” in light of the recently heightened tensions between China, Taiwan, and the United States.
The Chinese ambassador in Rabat specified that “on August 2, the US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan in a dangerous development that affects Chinese sovereignty and violates the US political and diplomatic commitments.”
“This visit has reignited signs of tension with the US, and threatens the internal stability of Taiwan because it has fueled and mobilized separatist and armed groups,” notes the diplomat.
Li Chang Lin added that “America has betrayed its political and diplomatic commitment with China, and we are in the process of responding to this irresponsible breach,” stressing that “Beijing is conducting clear and professional military maneuvers to respond to this escalation.”
“There is no other choice but to defend our unity. We are one family, we belong to one country, and Taiwan has never been a country,” concluded the ambassador.
China’s military announced new military drills on Monday in the airspace and seas surrounding Taiwan. China’s Eastern Theatre Command said it would conduct drills focusing on anti-submarine and sea assault operations.
Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry had stated that China dispatched 39 more aircraft near the island today in its latest mobilization, with 13 Chinese warships also lurking in nearby waters.
Beijing responded furiously to Pelosi’s Taiwan, announcing consecutive test launches of ballistic missiles over Taipei for the first time.
