The Chinese Foreign Ministry today reiterated its firm stance on the one-China principle, following reports of Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo's statements regarding closer ties with Taiwan.
During a regular press conference, Spokesperson Lin Jian addressed a question concerning Arévalo's reported intention to take Guatemala-Taiwan ties "to the next level" during a meeting with Lai Ching-te in Taipei.
When asked for China's comment, Lin Jian emphasised, "There is but one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory and the government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China. This is a prevailing consensus in the international community, which brooks no challenge."
Lin Jian further criticised the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities in Taiwan, stating, "The DPP authorities use so-called 'diplomatic allies' to seek political gains. This is self-deceiving and will not stop the inevitable reunification of China."
He underscored the widespread international recognition of the one-China principle, noting, "The fact that 183 countries in the world have established diplomatic relations with China fully proves that upholding the one-China principle is the right thing to do, and it is where the public opinion trends and the arc of history bends."
Concluding his remarks, Lin Jian issued a strong call to the Guatemalan government: "Recognising the one-China principle, developing relations with China, and sharing opportunities for development are what truly serve the fundamental interests of Guatemala and its people. We urge the government of relevant country to see the ultimate trend, meet its people’s aspirations, and make the right choice at an early date."
This statement reaffirms China's consistent position on Taiwan and its diplomatic efforts to isolate Taiwan on the international stage.
