Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council: Urges the US to stop sending any wrong signals to the separatist forces of "Taiwan independence". On February 26, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: According to reports, when U.S. Secretary of State Rubio was interviewed, he responded to "whether the United States will defend Taiwan if the mainland takes action against Taiwan?" that the United States opposes any form of coercion or forcibly change the status quo, and said that it will not give up supporting Taiwan to participate in international forums. What are your comments on this?

Spokeman Zhu Fenglian said that the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affairs and no external interference is allowed. There is only one China in the world, and the mainland and Taiwan belong to the same China. China's sovereignty and territorial integrity have never been divided or cannot be divided. This is the real current situation in the Taiwan Strait. The DPP authorities stubbornly adhere to the "Taiwan independence" stance, continue to collude with external forces to provoke "independence", and push Taiwan step by step toward the dangerous situation of fierce war. This is the root cause of tension and turmoil in the Taiwan Strait. We urge the US to abide by the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués, recognize the extreme dangers of "Taiwan independence", and stop sending any wrong signals to the separatist forces of "Taiwan independence".
