Yesterday in New York, at the UN General Assembly’s annual debate on Security Council reform, China’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Fu Cong, took a firm stance against Japanese politician Sanae Takaichi’s recent comments on Taiwan 🇹🇼.
Fu Cong said her remarks 'constitute a gross interference in the Chinese mainland's internal affairs' and 'seriously breach the one-China principle and the four political documents that guide China-Japan ties.' He added these statements 'undermine international justice, challenge the post-war international order, and depart from Japan's commitment to peaceful development.' 🚨
He went on to say that a country making such comments is 'totally unqualified' to vie for a permanent seat on the Security Council. This exchange highlights growing tensions over Taiwan’s status and how it plays out on the global stage.
