BERLIN: Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Monday denounced Czech Senate Speaker Milos Vystrcil’s visit to Taiwan, saying that any effort challenging the one-China principle will pay a heavy price.
Wang, who made the remarks during his visit to Germany, said that Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory. Challenging the one-China principle on Taiwan question is an attempt to turn against the 1.4 billion Chinese people and an action of breaching international law and regulations. “Regarding Czech Senate speaker’s open provocation and the anti-China force behind him, the Chinese government and Chinese people won’t take a laissez-faire attitude or sit idly by, and will make him pay a heavy price for his short-sighted behavior and political opportunism,” said Wang.
Earlier, Socialism with Chinese characteristics, China’s path for development, has brought benefits to not only China, but also the whole world, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said here on Sunday. While delivering a speech entitled “Solidarity, Cooperation, Openness and Inclusiveness, Jointly Safeguarding the Progressive Trend of Peace and Development of Mankind” at the French Institute of International Relations, Wang noted that under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Chinese people have blazed the trail for their country’s development and rejuvenation amid arduous exploration through thick and thin. Over the past more than 70 years since the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was founded, especially the past 40 years since the country’s reform and opening up, the Chinese people have made remarkable achievements along the path. China has accomplished leapfrog development with its comprehensive national strength growing continuously, and the Chinese people have become the true masters of their country with their livelihoods improving incessantly, Wang said. This year, the Chinese people, under the leadership by the CPC, have achieved the goals of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and securing a decisive victory in poverty alleviation, which marks the first time that China eliminated absolute poverty in its history, and accomplished, 10 years in advance, the goal of eradicating poverty listed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations (UN), Wang added.
