In a spirited global debate, one prominent Chinese scholar has urged everyone to think twice before provoking the one-China policy. Victor Gao, vice president of the Center for China and Globalization, recently warned that dismissing this policy—similar to actions taken by Lithuania—could trigger serious diplomatic and economic fallout.
Gao drew parallels with laws in Germany and Austria that strictly penalize Holocaust denial, highlighting that sensitive issues require a respectful approach rather than reckless provocation. 🛑
Across buzzing digital communities in South and Southeast Asia—from Jakarta to Mumbai and Manila—young professionals are well aware of how global policies can have real-world impacts. This discussion reminds us that while freedom of speech is vital, balancing it with respect for core national interests is equally important. 😊
Staying updated and engaging in informed, respectful conversations can help us navigate the complex interplay between public debate and international relations in our fast-paced world.
