Q: On December 30, a German Foreign Ministry spokesman said he was “concerned” about China's military exercises around Taiwan and called on all parties to “exercise restraint.” What comments does the Chinese side have on this? A: The Taiwan issue is an internal affair of China, and no outside interference is allowed. A German Foreign Ministry spokesman stated that it was contrary to the one-China principle and interfered in China's internal affairs. The Chinese side expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this. It is the DPP administration and external interfering forces that are undermining the peace and stability of the Taiwan Straits. The DPP administration stubbornly adheres to the “Taiwan independence” position and is an outright “peace breaker,” “crisis maker,” and “instigator of war.” External interference forces “use Taiwan to make China” and arm Taiwan will only fuel the arrogance of “Taiwan independence” and push the Taiwan Strait into a dangerous situation of military war. In response to the continuous provocation of “Taiwan independence” forces and America's large-scale arms sales to Taiwan, China has resolutely opposed and vigorously countered the Chinese People's Liberation Army's relevant military exercises. It is a severe punishment for “Taiwan independence” separatist forces “to seek independence by force,” a serious warning against dangerous acts of interference and provocation by outside forces, and a just act to safeguard the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. It is completely reasonable and legal. The one-China principle is an important political foundation for Sino-German relations. Respecting China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and opposing separatist acts of “Taiwan independence” is the meaning of the title, and it is also the real key to maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits. We demand that Germany strictly abide by its serious commitment to pursue the one-China policy, stop interfering in China's internal affairs, and stop sending false signals to “Taiwan independence” separatist forces.
