The foreign ministry has condemned Beijing for pressuring the South American nation of Guyana into scrapping plans to welcome a Taiwanese representative office in the country.
On Friday, the ministry said that China has once again moved to bully Taiwan and shrink its space in the international community. The ministry referred to Taiwan by its official name, the Republic of China, saying that the Republic of China is a sovereign nation. It said that Taiwan’s diplomatic corps will continue their work for the sake of Taiwan’s survival and development.
The foreign ministry also pointed to the hypocrisy of China’s efforts to isolate Taiwan internationally in the face of China’s recent assertion that it opposes the strong oppressing the weak. The ministry says the gap between the Chinese government’s actions and its words will show the world its sinister nature and will also serve to push the people on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait further apart.
