Hey tech-savvy folks! 🚀 On December 5, 2025, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian called on the United States to fully appreciate the sensitive nature of the Taiwan question. In a daily press briefing, he urged Washington to stick to the one-China principle and honor the commitments made in the three China-U.S. joint communiqués.
Here’s the backstory:
- Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te joined the New York Times DealBook Summit via pre-recorded video.
- Lin Jian slammed Lai’s comments on the Taiwan Strait as reckless and accused some U.S. media outlets of amplifying separatist rhetoric.
- These actions, he warned, violate the one-China principle and send a wrong signal to 'Taiwan independence' forces.
China’s stance is clear: Lin labelled Lai a "peace destroyer" and "troublemaker," saying any attempt at Taiwan independence by relying on the U.S. is "doomed to fail."
