“We [жители материка и Тайваня] blood brothers. We will continue to make efforts for the peaceful reunification of the motherland, to show the best possible goodwill for this,” he stressed,

The minister clarified that the United States must understand that the Taiwan issue is at the core of China-US relations. He also noted that members of the Chinese public often openly express bewilderment, asking the question:

“Why does Washington talk about the need to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and at the same time show a disrespectful stance on Taiwan?”
