On Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin assured that Taiwan “is not Ukraine,” accusing the international community of equating the two regions in order to “create a fresh crisis” and exert pressure on Beijing.
“Taiwan is not Ukraine; the Chinese people’s will and will to protect national sovereignty and territorial integrity are unshakeable,” Wang Wenbin said at a press conference, blaming the US for tying the crisis to Taiwan. in order to “discredit” the Asian behemoth
These activities, according to Wang, are aimed to create “a new crisis in the Taiwan Strait,” in which the US aims to achieve its geostrategic and economic goals “at the price of the well-being of the people on both sides of the strait.”
As a result, he emphasized that Ukraine’s and Taiwan’s difficulties are “fundamentally different” and “cannot be compared,” noting that the island is “an intrinsic part of the territory” while Ukraine is a “sovereign state.”
In this regard, he stated that the “only option to resolve the Ukrainian issue is to return as quickly as possible to the Minsk agreements,” which he described as the “beginning point.” As a result, Wang has urged working to “create tranquility rather than heightening stress and inciting panic.”
“Ukraine should serve as a link between East and West rather than a battleground for big countries. China hopes that all parties would engage in communication and consultation in order to come up with a solution that will ensure Europe’s security “, on the other hand, is more nuanced.
