Wang Yi Warns Czech Will Pay Heavy Price for Taiwan Visit
Hopes Europe Will Help Resolve China and the US Tension

Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, visiting Europe, hopes that France and other European countries will help ease the tension between China and the United States. In response to Taiwan visit of the delegation of the Czech senate president, Wang reiterated that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. Anyone challenging the one-China principle is making themselves enemies of 1.4 billion Chinese people and will pay a heavy price for their moves.

In a speech on Sunday (Aug 30) at the French Institute of International Relations (IFRI), Wang said that the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century; the threat of the pandemic has not receded; the global economy is in a deep recession. In order to face the waves of unemployment, bankruptcies, broken links and so on, Wang called for China and Europe to unite against the disruption of the world.

He said that China is against any conspiracy of the new cold war and firmly defends multilateralism. Unilateralist and bullying acts have been intensified and posed the biggest challenge to the multilateralism. He urged Europe against unilateralism and bullying acts to prevent the return of politics power. He continued that decoupling from China, a huge and the most dynamic market, meant to disconnect opportunities.

However, when Wang was asked about the tension between China and the US, he hoped France and other European countries assisting in meditation, added that the door of dialogue with Washington is always open. He believed to reach consensus if they could have a serious talk. He emphasised that China always insists peaceful development and oppose confrontation; even some radical forces in the US intend to provoke disputes.

French Foreign Ministry Backs Czech Republic, Canada’s Opposition Leader Vows to Stand up to China as PM

The French government has issued a statement in support of the Czech Republic and called out on China for threatening the Czech senate president Miloš Vystrčil, who had recently led a delegation to Taiwan.

Le Figaro and Agence France-Presse (AFP) quoted Agnes von der Muhll, spokesperson for the French foreign ministry, as saying that “Europe’s relations with China must be founded on dialogues, reciprocity and mutual respect, all of which are crucial to fostering a deeper partnership.” “With that in mind,” she continued, “any threat to an EU member state would be unacceptable. We express our support for the Czech Republic.”

Earlier, China’s foreign minister Wang Yi lambasted Vystrčil's visit to Taiwan as being “provocation” and said the Czech statesman will have to “pay a high price for his short-sightedness and political opportunism.” The Czech foreign ministry responded by saying that Wang’s comment went “too far” and summoned the Chinese ambassador to Prague for an explanation.

Meanwhile in Canada, the new leader of the Conservative Party and a contender in the next prime minister election Erin O’Toole wrote to the National Post, outlining his China policy. He said he is ready to confront China, citing his repeated demands for the Canadian government to speak up for Hong Kong and Taiwan, both of which have been targeted by the Chinese communist regime. The 47-year-old O’Toole vowed to stand up to China as prime minister.

Slovak President Backs Czech Republic, Calls China’s Threat “Unacceptable”

The Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi has sparked outrage across Europe as he threatened the Czech senate president Miloš Vystrčil for his visit to Taiwan. Echoing the German foreign minister and the EU’s foreign ministry, the Slovak president Zuzana Čaputová said she could not accept China’s threat. This is the first time a European head of state has criticized China for Vystrčil’s visit to Taiwan.

In a Twitter post, Čaputová wrote, “Slovakia stands by the Czech Republic. EU-China relations are based on dialogue and mutual respect. Threats directed at one of the EU members and its representatives contradict the very essence of our partnership and as such are unacceptable.”

47-year-old Čaputová became Slovakia’s first female president in June 2019. Slovakia is a member of the European Union and has close ties with the Czech Republic. The two were formerly a single country, splitting peacefully into two independent states in 1993.

In an interview in Germany on 31 August, Wang said “Vystrčil must be made to pay a heavy price for his short-sightedness and political opportunism” in response to the Czech statesman’s visit to Taiwan. Norbert Rottgen, chairman of the foreign affairs committee of the German parliament, protested against the threat and called on the EU to be united in protecting the Czech Republic from China’s reprisals. Peter Stano, the European Commission’s foreign affairs spokesman, also expressed displeasure at Wang’s language, though adding that the matter would have to be discussed bilaterally between the Czech Republic and China.

Telephone Call between Chinese and Russian Foreign Ministers Accuses US of Unilateral Sanctions, Indicating Cooperation between the Two Countries in Resistance to Suppression from US 
 
Tension between US-China and US-Russia relationship continues to heighten. In a telephone call on December 22 between Chinese Foreign Minister and State Councillor Wang Yi and Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov, the two foreign ministers stated that the two countries shall continue to work closely together to combat suppression from the US. 
 
Wang told Lavrov that China and Russia share a “high quality and special” relationship. He also agreed with Russia President Putin that leaders from the two countries have built a highly mutually trusting and friendly relationship, and that both countries share much common ground on multiple issues. 
 
Wang criticised the US of “going against the current trends and still waving its huge stick of unilateral sanctions”, and that the US “would only leave undignified records in the world”. Lavrov responded that the two nations shall firmly oppose the US’s destructive actions towards multilateralism, reinstating that suppression from the US must be resisted. He claimed that such could effectively protect international law, the mutual benefits for the two countries, as well as international stability and cooperation.

Chinese #ForeignMinister tells Germans ‘you know what #genocide looks like’

//It is estimated that 1 million Uighurs have been detained in so-called re-education camps in Xinjiang.

China’s Foreign Minister #WangYi rejected academic research detailing the abuses, including forced labour and forced sterilisations of women.

#Uighur women who have been detained in the camps have detailed systemic rape, abuse and torture. China has refused to allow independent investigators into the camps and denies any abuses are taking place.

“There is no forced labour in China,” Wang said. “There’s no such thing [as] concentration camps in #Xinjiang.”

“And there’s no such thing as genocide - our European friends know what is genocide,” he said, referring to the Holocaust when Nazi Germany murdered 6 million Jews during World War II.

#Buetikofer, who leads the European Parliament’s China delegation, was one of the politicians sanctioned.

Buetikofer described as reckless Wang’s attempts to use the Holocaust to dismiss claims of crimes against humanity in Xinjiang.

“Wang Yi basically tells us ‘shut up, you shouldn’t talk’.

“The Holocaust should not be used as a diplomatic football for rhetorical gains,” he told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.

“The fact of the matter is that it has been precisely because of our wretched history that we have built our democracies and European Union on the basis of adherence to human rights and the rule of law. For us it is an historic obligation.

“If this People’s Republic of China had nothing to hide, they would open up and allow a full independent investigation; no amount of aggressive wolf-warrior diplomacy will obscure the fact that they still have not done so,” he said.//

China-Russian hails ties and scorns international sanctions against Moscow's invasion in Ukraine calling them "illegal" and "counter-productive"

At a time when Russia is being condemned by the international community for its all-out invasion in Ukraine, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on March 30, 2022 that the desire of China and Russia to develop bilateral relations has become even "stronger" so has the confidence to promote cooperation in various directions.

#WangYi and his Russian counterpart #SergeiLavrov emerged from their meetings with a show of unity, appearing to reaffirm their countries' friendship and criticising economic sanctions imposed by the West against Moscow for invading Ukraine as "illegal" and "counter-productive."

"China-Russia relations have withstood the new test of changing international landscape," Wang said after the meeting. "China is ready to work with Russia to take China-Russia relations to a higher level in the new era."

China has refused to condemn Russia's invasion outright, and it abstained from voting on United Nations resolutions demanding Moscow immediately stop its attack on Ukraine.

Instead, Beijing has accused the United States of intensifying tensions, while highlighting Moscow’s “legitimate security concerns” regarding the eastward expansion of #Nato.
