Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The Two Sides of the Strait Are Not Subordinate to Each Other; Beijing Has No Right to Make Claims for Taiwan

Central News Agency, Taipei, 14th - Following the meeting between US President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) stated that the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China are not subordinate to each other, and Beijing has no right to make any claims on behalf of Taiwan. It asserted that the Beijing authorities are the only risk to peace and stability in the region, and Taiwan will continue to cooperate with free and democratic countries to ensure regional security and prosperity.

In response to an inquiry from a Central News Agency reporter about the Trump-Xi meeting, MOFA stated that the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China are not subordinate to each other, and Beijing has no right to make any claims for Taiwan on the international stage. Just as at this moment, with the various gray-zone military harassment and threats conducted by the People's Liberation Army in the first island chain and the area around the Taiwan Strait, the Beijing authorities are the only current risk to peace and stability in the region.

MOFA stated that Taiwan will continue to cooperate with all freedom-loving and democratic countries, including the United States, to ensure the security, stability, and prosperity of the region. (Editor: Lin Hsing-meng) 1150514
