Beijing, August 19 /Xinhua/ — Adhering to the One-China principle reflects the common aspirations of the people and is the right decision. Moreover, the international community’s commitment to the One-China principle is unwavering, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian on Wednesday.
Lin Jian made this statement at a regular press briefing, responding to a question about Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s comments on Taiwan in a recent interview with Al Jazeera.
“I consider Taiwan to be part of China, period,” said Anwar Ibrahim, adding that “There is only one China. And everyone recognizes this.”
Responding to a request to comment on China’s statement that it reserves the right to use force if peaceful reunification fails, Anwar Ibrahim said that if any part of Malaysia wants to secede, he will be obliged to preserve the country’s territorial integrity.
When the host asked, “So you would use force?” Anwar Ibrahim replied, “Yes,” adding that otherwise the country risks falling apart.
Lin Jian said that China highly values the statements of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
“There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inseparable part of China’s territory,” said Lin Jian, adding that the reunification of China is an unstoppable historical trend.
