The Taiwan question is purely an internal affair of
China and is different from the German question and the
Korean question, which were brought about at the end of the
Second World War. The Taiwan question is left over by a
civil war in China and is the outcome of the intervention of
foreign forces, but the division of Germany and Korea was
caused by international factors at the end of the Second
World War and is based on international accords. Although
the two sides of the Straits have not yet unified, the
sovereignty of China is not divided. The absolute majority
of countries in the world recognize that there is only one
China, Taiwan is a part of China and the Government of the
People's Republic of China is the sole legal government
representing the whole of China. The Taiwan question is
completely an internal affair of China. |
