In response to media inquiry about the US' forcible seizure of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife and their transfer out of the country, which has drawn widespread attention and prompted some people on Taiwan island to express concern that the Chinese mainland might follow the US approach to “justify taking action against Taiwan,” Chen Binhua, the spokesperson from the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said that the US has brazenly used force against a sovereign country, a move that seriously violates international law, infringes on the sovereignty of other states, and threatens regional peace and security. We firmly oppose this.

Taiwan is China’s Taiwan. Resolving the Taiwan question is a matter for the Chinese people alone and brooks no external interference. If “Taiwan independence” separatist forces dare to take reckless actions and cross red lines, we will take resolute measures and deliver a head-on blow, said Chen.
