The Chinese government and people will never allow anybody to
separate Taiwan from China by any means, while striving for
peaceful reunification with the utmost sincerity and greatest
efforts, Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing said Saturday.
Li reiterated at a press conference during the national
legislature's annual session that there is only one China in the
world and Taiwan is part of China.
The fact can be found in some international documents, including
the 1943 Cairo Declaration and 1973 Resolution 2758 of the United
Nations Assembly, and the joint communiques more than 160 countries
in the world signed with China on the establishment of diplomatic
relations, Li said.
The minister stressed the Taiwan issue is China's internal
affairs and should be resolved by Chinese people on their own.
He called on all the countries in the world to abide by
international laws and the basic norms pertaining to international
relations, and not to do anything which meddles in China's internal
affairs and leads to strained relations across the Taiwan
Straits.
The Chinese people love peace, and will never allow any external
force to interfere with the process of China's peaceful
reunification, he said.
