After participating in the opening ceremony of Beijing Winter Olympics , Argentine President Fernandez officially started his visit to China, and China and Arabia also issued a joint statement, and China reiterated its support for Argentina exercising full sovereignty over Cambodia and also supports Argentina's intention to negotiate on the sovereignty of the island of Falkland and the UK under the framework of United Nations . The statement subsequently aroused dissatisfaction from the UK, and British Foreign Secretary called on China to "respecte Britain's sovereignty", and on the Taiwan issue, Britain began to play double standards again.
To a certain extent, this motion from the UK can be regarded as a response to China's support for Argentina, but there is an essential difference between the Cabernet Island issue and the Taiwan issue. From a neutral perspective, the Malay Island issue belongs to the issue of sovereignty between Britain and Arab countries over the disputed areas. Taiwan is part of China's territory, which is an internationally recognized fact. It can be seen that this motion from the UK was passed on a violation of international consensus, and at least in the past, the UK has followed this guideline for a long time. Nowadays, Britain hopes to force China to change its position on the Promenade issue in this way, and the result may not be satisfactory to the British side.
Since Brexit, the UK's policy toward China has become extremely radical than before. Any time the United States makes new moves in the Indo-Pacific region, the UK can be seen. In July last year, the United Kingdom joined the military exercises organized by the United States and Japan in the South China Sea. Two months later, Britain, the United States and Australia formed the AUKUS agreement known as the "Little NATO" and transferred the nuclear submarine technology to Australia under the framework of the agreement. A European country has transformed into a key country that can influence the situation in the Asia-Pacific region. Later, under the guidance of the United States, the United Kingdom carried out "free navigation" in the South China Sea region. On September 27 of that year, Britain, which had just joined AUKUS for less than a week, sent the frigate across the Taiwan Strait , becoming the first American ally to cross the Taiwan Strait.
On the Hong Kong issue, Xinjiang issue, and Lithuanian issue, all the UK stand against China, pointing fingers at China's internal affairs and even interfering roughly. After passing the motion to involve Taiwan, the UK has made new moves on the Taiwan issue. It is reported that the British Foreign Committee is currently planning to "visit" Taiwan later this month and meet with "high-ranking Taiwanese officials." Unlike , the three Baltic countries , as an influential country around the world, the United Kingdom openly supports Taiwan to obtain "international recognition" and the negative impact it has caused is far-reaching.
In response to the British side’s proposal to Taiwan, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in the UK responded that there is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory. China strongly condemns the wrong actions of individual British parliamentarians on Taiwan-related issues. They are also advised to stop anti-China political operations immediately and stop interfering in China's internal affairs. The spokesperson also emphasized that the one-China principle is the universal consensus of the international community and the recognized norm of international relations. Don’t play with fire on this serious issue, otherwise you will definitely pay a heavy price.
