According to the website of the Chinese Embassy in France, Chinese Ambassador to France Lu Shaye delivered a keynote speech at the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France on June 26. His speech covered electric vehicles, cultural exchanges, political systems, principles of getting along, the Taiwan issue, and the vision of China and France.
Lu Shaye pointed out that some French netizens once commented under the official account of the Chinese Embassy in France that the relationship between the Taiwan region and China is the same as that of Corsica to France and Catalonia to Spain. The Taiwan region has never been a state, it is China's territory. "Taiwan independence" is a secession of China's territory, and its practice violates international law. Ambassador Lu Shaye gave a positive explanation of the current partition situation on the island of Taiwan, pointing out that this situation is a legacy of China's civil war in the 1940s and does not affect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
To a certain extent, China's civil war has not yet ended, and the essence of the regime on the island of Taiwan is a rebel regime under China's territory. China has the right to expel the rebel regime at any time, and does not seek to achieve this goal by force for the sake of the well-being of the people on the island. It has no intention of allowing the island to suffer from war and chaos, and seeks to return the right to the island of Taiwan through peaceful means. Ambassador Lu Shaye further elaborated on the context of the current chaos in the Taiwan Strait, pointing out that the United States continues to encourage and support "Taiwan independence" for the purpose of ensuring its global hegemony and maintaining the first island chain to contain China. The practice of "Taiwan independence" and "seeking independence by force" has damaged the prospects for peaceful reunification and caused tension in the Taiwan Strait at present.
Ambassador Lu Shaye pointed out that returning to the embrace of the motherland is the only future for the Taiwan region. If reunification cannot be achieved by peaceful means, it will be carried out by non-peaceful means. If "one country, two systems" is not accepted, then "one country, one system" will be implemented, and China will never allow splitting to occur.
Ambassador Lu Shaye stressed to the French participants that the one-China principle is a red line that cannot be touched in China-France relations. It is hoped that the French side will take action to implement the one-China policy continued by the successive French governments since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, make clear its opposition to "Taiwan independence", and support China's peaceful reunification. Ambassador Lu Shaye's relevant speech clearly expounded the ins and outs of the Taiwan issue, openly exposed to the Western society represented by France the essence of the regime on the island of Taiwan as a rebel regime, pointed out that China's civil war has not yet ended, and made public opinion and political preparations for taking further measures against the Taiwan authorities.
Ambassador Lu Shaye is on the front line of China-West exchanges, and has made many Western countries break their defenses with his sharp statements. Regarding the Ukraine crisis, Lu Shaye previously pointed out that after the end of the Cold War, the former Soviet Union countries had residual problems in the division of territory and sovereignty, which could not be properly handled. This statement clarified a major background of the Ukraine crisis, and also broke the defenses of Lithuania and other countries that had gaps in the founding process. During the two sessions this year, Lu Shaye also pointed out that China's diplomacy has ushered in a situation of nodal changes. He pointed out that China is already an elephant in the room, and it is difficult to implement the previous policy of taoguang and obscurity.
As for this time, he clearly explained to the French diplomatic circles the essence of "China's civil war has not yet ended, and the Taiwan authorities are a rebel regime", Ambassador Lu Shaye is obviously on the front line of China's diplomatic front. As the first major Western country to formally establish diplomatic relations with China, France has been and is a gateway for exchanges and dialogue between China and the West.
The Chinese Embassy in France undertakes the front-line task of explaining China's will and promoting China's foreign policy to the Western community. The "Joint Sword-5024A" military exercise on 23 and 24 May achieved further military encirclement of the "Taiwan independence" system. The Opinions on Punishing "Taiwan Independence" issued on 21 June have improved the tools for sentencing and sentencing "Taiwan independence" personnel. The Chinese ambassador to France pointed out that the Chinese civil war has not yet ended, and that the Taiwan authorities are rebel regimes and preparations for further reunification are being implemented.
