China says US 'gravely wrong' to congratulate new Taiwan leader | BBC News


China has accused the US of sending “a gravely wrong signal” to those pushing for Taiwan’s independence after Saturday’s election result.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken sent Taiwanese president-elect William Lai a message of congratulations following the result.

Beijing called the message a violation of Washington’s commitment to…

  1. One (Communist) China🇨🇳doesn't include Democratic Taiwan🇹🇼 for sure. Two different political structures, can't be united. CCP🇨🇳doesnt have a right to claim Democratic🇹🇼ROC who was estsblished in 1912, never being ruled by Communist China.

  3. Congratulations to new President Lai,more powerful Taiwan democracy,China communist country,hope all Chinese people to Taiwan democracy enjoy freedom

  4. ВДУМАЙСЯ: ЕМУ ЖАЛКО ДЛЯ ТЕБЯ СВОЕГО ВРЕМЕНИ, СВОЕГО ВНИМАНИЯ, СВОЕЙ ЭНЕРГИИ, СВОИХ РЕСУРСОВ. И ОН ПРИУЧИЛ ТЕБЯ К ТОМУ, ЧТО ЭТО НОРМАЛЬНО.

  5. CCP curtails freedom of speech to its people and wants to impose the same to all nation. Every freedom loving nation should congratulate the President-elect of Taiwan and its citizens. Congratulations Taiwan 🇹🇼

  6. To have a policy like One China, there must be more than one China. Here is the history, look it up –

    In 1949, the Mao led CCP broke away from the Republic of China, which was established in 1912, after defeating the ROC national military and founded the People's Republic of China. The ROC took exile in Taiwan till today.

    The PROC has never set foot on Taiwan in its 75 years of history. That's the fact.

  7. China can gain more and more control before China destroy Taiwan's democracy and become like Hong Kong and lose all their self power and rights!

  8. just for arguments sake, take bubblehead wang yi's assertions, there is only one china but there is also Taiwan and Taiwan is not china but china is Taiwan. one china policy is just a bagful of shit that only the ccp can benefit is the world only allows it. mao zedong's ccp is just a criminal organization holding china as a captive state since after WW II.

  9. One Taiwan ! Long live Taiwan ! Taiwan more sovereign than other countries that do not recognize its sovereignty! More sovereign than most countries ! One China policy is false diplomatic policy- brazen and deceptive ! PRC diplomacy like One China policy is about disrespecting sovereignty, outright disregard of independence of a nation distinct existence and progress as a nation! It follows an “all-or- none” logic that would apply geopolitically as clearly manifested by One China policy, similar to Putin’s attitude of invading Ukraine and Hamas objective of ending Israel as a state ! A diplomacy that leads to military conflict and progress to war! PRC government’s behavior in the west Philippine sea is blatantly undiplomatic and nothing else but outright military aggression ! No amount of economic cooperation not diplomacy will make PRC government an ally of any nation! PRC government BORROWED and USED a FOREIGN IDEOLOGY that CORRUPTED Chinese culture, Chinese heritage and Chinese existence as a state! With One Child policy, PRC government slaughtered the future of China with no apologies to the Chinese people and NO ACCOUNTABILITY! One China policy basically ignores sovereignty of nations because the conflict with Taiwan extends beyond Taiwan! The conflict in the Taiwan strait is a bridge to future conflicts with other nations in the South China Sea and in the Pacific !

  10. Taiwan's Independence is disallowed by its constitution.
    The founding father of the Republic of China Dr. Sun Yat-sen founded the Republic of China in 1911 in Guangzhou (Mainland China). Article 4 of Taiwan (Republic of China) says: The territory of the Republic of China according to its existing national boundaries shall not be altered except by resolution of the National Assembly.
    The National Assembly of Taiwan was disbanded in 2005. Now, it is impossible for Taiwan to take the Mainland China out of Taiwan’s constitution.

  11. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continue chanting for the reunification with Taiwan is indeed quite laughable. Taiwan originally never belonged to them, so how can they claim to have lost it?

    It was Japan that handed Taiwan over to the Kuomintang government, not the CCP. If Japan made a mistake, why hasn't the CCP protested against Japan? This indicates that Japan handing Taiwan to the Kuomintang government was not a mistake. The CCP has never ruled Taiwan, attacking Taiwan is an act of aggression.

    The only reason the CCP claims to invade Taiwan is that the Qing Dynasty once ruled Taiwan. However, the Qing Dynasty was just one dynasty in Chinese history, and each change of dynasty led to different territorial boundaries. How can this be a valid reason? The Qing Dynasty ceded Taiwan to Japan due to defeat in war, and this was a permanent cession agreement. Without the Qing Dynasty's consent, even more territories were taken by Russia. The Tuva Republic is 4.7 times larger than Taiwan, yet the CCP doesn't protest against Russia. It shows that the Qing Dynasty's rule over Taiwan is just an excuse.

    During the Yuan Dynasty, Beijing was the capital, and countries like North and South Korea, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, and Siberia in Russia were once within the Yuan Dynasty's rule. How many of these countries are not independent now?

    Xi Jinping's claim that not an inch of Chinese territory can be lost is just a joke. If the CCP has the capability, they should first recover North Korea!

  13. Get lost, China.

    Congratulations to the new president of the country of Taiwan. The Taiwanese people have nothing to gain from joining a corrupt communist dictatorship with a sinking economy.

  14. The land of TW island belongs to China, a not so complicated reality.
    Much of the talking here about independence, internal affairs, even the surreal democracy, are quite irrelevant and frankly futile.
    If US were go to war with China, the location is more likely to be in Philippine, not TW.

  15. The seperatists got 40% of Taiwan votes, 60% didn't vote for their deadly independent ambitious dream! Plus 1.4 billions Chinese in motherland and millions Chinese oversea not allow the seperatists split Taiwan away, that's belong to all Chinese, not belong to just 40% of Taiwan votes!
    Therefore, seperatists give up your deadly dream or migrate to Hawaii which is the island with it's own race and culture and faraway from American backyard and longing for independent from the USA ! 👌
    So don't stay back in Taiwan to drag 60% of others into your deadly independent ambitious dream!
    China certainly will fight for the island back if you announce independent! 🇨🇳💪

  16. The "Freedom of Democracy" and "human rights" which the USA's excuse used to stir troubles in other countries, while actually they don't have that for their own country (that's only wild freedom of American styles, freedom of mass gun muders, freedom of sleeping on the streets, freedom of corruptions, freedom of killing the Blacks, freedom of build up military bases and freedom of bombing in other countries …) So why should trust them! Every country have their own way of running the country! So be respectful! Do not interfere other countries internal affair!
    The US and the West are always spoilt the Communism, but look at China now, millions out of poverty everyone have their own jobs, cars, homes and travels…! Therefore, Communism is more safe and better than American Capitalism! 🙏
