Chinese Foreign Minister: Why does the West talk about the need to respect the sovereignty of Ukraine, but does not respect the sovereignty of the PRC in relation to Taiwan?

Recently, in the African state of the Congo, the words of French President Emmanuel Macron, who arrived in this country, that there are “no double standards” in Europe, were literally ridiculed. After that, the topic of Western double standards was raised in China. And the Chinese authorities touched upon the issues of how Washington considers the issues of Ukraine and Taiwan.

At the regular session of the National People's Congress (National People's Congress) that started in the PRC, Foreign Minister Qin Gang made a statement that the Chinese society wants an unequivocal answer from the West to the question: what does the West mean by the concept of "sovereignty and territorial integrity"?

Chinese Foreign Minister:

Chinese society wants answers to simple questions. Why is it that the United States constantly talks about respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity with respect to Ukraine, and when it comes to China, neither sovereignty nor territorial integrity is respected? An example is Taiwan. Why are these norms so important for the United States in relation to one country, and not to another?

Qin Gang asked Washington another question:

Why Western countries require China not to supply weapon Russia, while themselves, violating the international norm of August 17, 1982, supply weapons to Taiwan?

According to Qin Gang, the West must answer these questions, not only to the Chinese people, but also to their own. The Western community has a right to know that governments actually divide the countries of the world into classes, one of which is allowed to have the right to sovereignty and territorial integrity, while others are not.

The Chinese Foreign Minister pointed out that Beijing does not supply weapons to the warring parties in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. At the same time, Qin Gang called on the United States to stop supplying weapons to Taipei. These words actually sounded like a warning to Washington, from which it will have to draw unambiguous conclusions.

It seems not small enough to ask such questions. But not an adult to answer such questions himself, not paying attention to the opinion of the white gentlemen ..

[Silver99]

Because the West is historically built on colonialism, slavery and the robbery of peoples, that's what it stands for. I don’t even want to discuss all the arguments about democracy and equality under capitalism, the main principle of capitalism is based on maximizing profits, and here there simply can’t be equality and respect for one’s neighbor, for 300% of the profit they will go to any crime.

not the West or the East, but just any capitalist society .. and in fact, now in the world - non-capitalists - one China and then, with great nuances .. those who can exploit other countries, those who do not - their own ..

oh yes, there are so many nuances that it’s very difficult to distinguish them from an ordinary capitalist state ...

The Chinese seem to guess that they, too, belong to the category of subhumans. Only the Chinese lack the courage to face their "partners" as fascists. And this is after China suffered the greatest loss of life in WWII.

[Rome]

Usually the Foreign Ministry of large states asks questions, not in order to get answers, but in order to get a REASON!
This is usually a subtle allusion to thick circumstances!

[marchcat]

Question as I understand it. was asked in the void and the answer will not follow ...

[Prokop_Pork]

He asked not for an answer. - This is, so to speak, the promotion of their position.

[Alexander 3]

(The Western community has a right to know that governments actually divide the countries of the world into sorts, one of which is allowed to have the right to sovereignty and territorial integrity, while others are not) - well said. Well, the hegemon knows this and hopes that this will continue.

Of course the question is rather rhetorical. Which should be followed by Chinese actions that opponents will not like very much

This is not a question, but a very subtle hint, an ordinary bargain, if you like, that if Harpoons with Sikorsky continue to appear in Taiwan, then Chinese ammunition and UAVs may appear in Ukraine ...

Who will tell the suckers who can be bred by the bazaar about this? Let them think! By the way, there are enough naive Chukchi youths in the world, including the deceived rulers of the USSR and the Russian Federation.

[Installer]

A bold and almost direct collision with mattresses. It seems that China is boiling over or is taking advantage of the moment.

[rotmistr60]

in the West must answer these questions, and not only to the Chinese people, but also to their own

These questions should have been asked publicly even in the knowledge that they would not be answered. At least the Chinese side expressed its opposition to the actions of the United States. The number of harsh questions and public statements unpleasant to the Americans from Chinese diplomats has increased manifold in recent days.

[Atlant-1164]

Countries that "beep" about their sovereignty .. especially with their sovereignty, do not count!

[Silver99]

but tell me, was there at least one period in the history of mankind when sovereignty and freedom were achieved by negotiations? ...... I personally don’t remember, only brute force, nothing more. Apparently it's human nature. I will quote a famous character ... Karpov: "In life there is only one way to solve all problems, just not everyone recognizes it, this is violence"

[Plowman]

What naivete. Force rules the world. It should have been bombed and dismembered Yugoslavia. Therefore, it is high time for the Chinese to understand that they need to unite with Russia in order to confront their democracy.

[DefenderofTruth]

as soon as it comes to China, neither sovereignty nor territorial integrity is respected? An example is Taiwan. Why are these norms so important for the United States in relation to one country, and not to another?

The Chinese are an ancient civilization like Israel and Iran.
They themselves must know the answer to this question.
There can be only one response from the PRC to the supply of US weapons to Taiwan - mass deliveries of Chinese weapons from China to the Russian Federation so that Ukraine restores its integrity as part of Russia.

[Ady66]

And what, may I ask, can China supply us with weapons that we would not have? You need to upload your own productions. The more serial production, the lower the cost. And besides, in the course of production, technologies are adjusted, which also leads to cheaper prices. Qualified personnel are being trained, which we have a shortage of shortages.

[DefenderofTruth]

In the Russian Federation, even half of the military production facilities are now gone, those that were in the RSFSR in 1991.
Over the past 30 years, the entire industry in the Russian Federation has been cut into scrap metal and taken to the EU.
And the Chinese not only preserved everything, but also multiplied it.

[parabyd]

This weapon is called "machine tools"), well, artillery can be poured in for change, it will not be superfluous. Well, a few drones. And it is also desirable to give access to satellite data.

[Mouse]

as I understand it ... a purely rhetorical question ....

[yuriy1863]

China from the usual position of "refraining" begins to slowly say something. Apparently, the Eastern Dragon decided that it was time for him to make his appearance on the stage of the world theater.

[point]

The recent "peace settlement" initiative was exactly the same - to seize the initiative and dictate your narrative of support for the operation in Taiwan. And they have a place to say - their own media in English, their own economic weight, publicly discussed figures for the construction of fleet units ...
as Nadys Vavilov said, for them the conversation is about a naval blockade not so much of Taiwan, but of China. Moreover, he has long conveyed the simple idea that China's turn to military dominance began after Tiananmen, decades ago. And their goal is to become the pole of peace in Southeast Asia, and at the moment - the world's dominant by curtailing American globalism. There are pluses, there are minuses, which Vavilov regularly kneads to the details ... however, for China, everything is not accidental and very serious.

[Maks1995]

Uncle understands everything.
all these statements are for the scammed
Imperialism in the yard.

As long as Taiwan has the strength for independence, they are sovereign.
Vietnam fought off China, France, the US is sovereign.
Both Koreas are armed to the teeth - sovereign.

But Myanmar trains with bamboo instead of anti-tank rifles and machine guns - even Kadyrov easily declared jihad to them. One saved - far from Chechnya))))

[Leader_Barmaleev]

It's time for China to stop asking questions, it's time for China to start answering, and in such a way that they understand the first time.

[svp67]

Chinese Foreign Minister: Why does the West talk about the need to respect the sovereignty of Ukraine, but does not respect the sovereignty of the PRC in relation to Taiwan?

And what about Serbia in relation to Kosovo? And they do not respect, because for them it is "OTHER" ....

[Gardamir]

If there is Chinese sovereignty over Taiwan, then there is also Russian sovereignty over Ukraine

[solar]

The fact that Taiwan and China are a single country is recognized by Taiwan, China, the United States, and the UN as a whole.
But from a formal point of view, strange as it may seem, it was China that separated from Taiwan, since it was in Taiwan at that time that there was a legitimate government recognized by the UN as the founder and permanent member of the UN Security Council with veto power.
Later, the Americans, understanding the difference in scale, agreed to consider the government in Beijing, and not in Taiwan, as the representative of this common China in the UN, for which they put pressure on Taiwan, at the same time giving it a promise that it would not be forcibly annexed to China. This is where everything revolves around. The Chinese are well aware of this, so they are in no hurry to invade Taiwan.

[megadeth]

The "west" has one answer to double standards: - "Is it different ...?".

[Zaurbek]

As the American ambassador to Georgia said about the Georgian law on "Foreign agents": We are against this law, even if it is an exact translation from the American law!

[dump22]

This is very similar to a frank offer of a trade deal.

Translated into Russian: the Chinese agree to surrender Russia if the Americans surrender Taiwan.

[zontov79]

It's time for you Chinese to wake up!! Don't repeat our mistakes! More precisely, the mistakes of our leadership !! Supply weapons and ammunition to us, spit on America !! You are next on their list! And we must not let each other die!
