Moscow: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has clearly said that Russia is with China on the Taiwan issue. Not only this but he also supports China on many other issues. He also said that Russia fully supports the One China Policy.
Lavrov also praised China's balanced approach to the Ukraine issue and wrote that Russia respects China's stance on other issues in Asia, in an interview with Russia's current state-owned newspaper Rosicrucian Gazeta on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Russia's diplomatic relations with China. Supports.
Along with this, while criticizing America, he wrote that America is deliberately creating a whirlpool in the sea of Taiwan and its satellites are also included in this. Whereas Russia and China have similar attitudes towards the threats posed by the West's presence in the Asia Pacific region. He further wrote that the United States and its satellites (allied countries) unilaterally accept the One China principle. On the other hand, it provides arms to Taiwan. Also provides financial assistance. Russia's stance on the Taiwan issue has always been the same. It follows the One-China policy. He considers Taiwan a province of China.
It is noteworthy that Chinese President Xi Jinping has repeatedly said that Taiwan is a province of China. He said this in a lecture given this week.
Taiwan considers China's claim completely unacceptable and clearly states that our country, a pure democracy, was never part of mainland China, we were, are and will be independent.
On October 1, 1949, when Mao Zedong established communist rule in Beijing, Chinese revolutionary leader Dr. Son Yan Sen, his brother who was Dr. He Sen's lieutenant, arrived on the island, then called Formosa. And established a democratic government there. In fact, this island nation has been independent since 1896. At that time there was monarchy in China. Formosa became independent from the rule of the last emperor. and established an independent state declaring itself Taiwan.
At an average of one generation every 30 years, Taiwan is now in its fifth generation (since independence). Although they themselves are of Han descent, they may not have had any connections to mainland China. However, Xi Jinping wants to immortalize himself in history by doing what Mao Zedong could not do in 1949 (occupying Taiwan).
America has become alert. If Taiwan comes under the control of China, it can easily reach the Pacific Ocean. Because there is a distance of 600 kilometers between Japan and Philippines. Taiwan is the only shield to stop it from entering. That's why America is helping him a lot. On the other hand, China's influence on the Pacific Ocean is wavering. That's why he wants to take Taiwan. While the world is currently busy in the Middle East, there are fears that China will flare up in the east.
