In a recent briefing, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson addressed remarks made by Guatemalan President Bernardo Arevalo during his visit to China's Taiwan region. Spokesperson Lin Jian emphasized that recognizing the one-China principle is not only an international consensus but also in line with the fundamental interests of Guatemala and its people.
Lin Jian reminded everyone that there is only one China, with Taiwan being an inalienable part of its territory. He cautioned that the attempts by Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authorities to sway so-called "allied countries" for political gain are merely self-deceptive theatrics. According to him, history is moving steadily toward China's reunification, and this trend is reflected by the 183 countries that have established diplomatic ties with China.
He urged governments worldwide to grasp this overarching trend, heed public sentiment, and make clear diplomatic choices. As global political landscapes continue to evolve, these insights remind us that fair and clear diplomatic practices are essential in our interconnected world. Stay informed, stay engaged, and let history guide us forward! 🌏🤝
