A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in the UK made a statement on Truss's visit to Taiwan: any attempt to make a "political show" on the Taiwan issue will end in failure. According to the website of the Chinese Embassy in the UK, British politician Truss recently visited Taiwan to perform her dangerous political performance. This kind of performance will do more harm than good to Britain. Truss's provocative actions have aroused strong indignation among the Chinese people and will be spurned by people from all walks of life with conscience. There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan has been an inalienable part of Chinese territory since ancient times. Taiwan's return to China is an important part of the international order after World War II. A series of international law documents, including the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, have clearly defined China's sovereignty over Taiwan. The one-China principle is the universal consensus of the international community and the basic norm of international relations, which is confirmed by UN General Assembly Resolution 2758. The one-China principle is the political basis and important prerequisite for the establishment and development of diplomatic relations between China and Britain. Any responsible politician should abide by the one-China principle and not manipulate state-to-state relations. At present, the greatest threat to peace in the Taiwan Strait is the separatist act of "Taiwan independence" and the connivance and support of external forces. People like Truss play the "Taiwan card", engage in a "political show," collude with "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, incite confrontation between the two sides of the strait, and aggravate cross-strait tension. The Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests. Any act that violates the one-China principle will have serious consequences for Sino-British relations. We advise individual politicians on the British side to correct their mistakes, stop making a political show about the Taiwan issue, and connive at the separatist forces supporting "Taiwan independence." Otherwise, it will only further expose his nature as a failed politician and be more strongly opposed by the Chinese people.
