People’s Republic of China Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited the Kyrgyz Republic and held the first PRC-Kyrgyzstan foreign ministers’ strategic bilateral dialogue with Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Zheenbek Kulubaev on November 19. Following the meeting, they issued a joint statement espousing several blatantly false claims—including that Taiwan was an inseparable part of China’s territory—and misrepresenting United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) of the Republic of China (Taiwan) solemnly condemns the Chinese government’s continued dissemination of absurd and erroneous statements that aim to downgrade Taiwan’s sovereignty at international fora and events. MOFA also expresses deep regret over the Kyrgyz government’s subservience to authoritarian China.
MOFA reiterates that the ROC (Taiwan) is a sovereign, independent country and that neither the ROC (Taiwan) nor the PRC is subordinate to the other. Any attempt to disparage Taiwan’s sovereign status is aggressive behavior that undermines international peace and stability. Moreover, it cannot change the objective fact and status quo that neither side of the Taiwan Strait is subordinate to the other.
MOFA once again calls on the international community to recognize China’s authoritarian mindset and nature, as well as its intention to misrepresent the Taiwan issue as an internal affair and prevent the world from supporting Taiwan. The international community is urged to continue taking concrete action to counter China’s deplorable attempts to change the cross-strait status quo, so as to jointly safeguard peace, stability, and prosperity across the Taiwan Strait and the Indo-Pacific region.
