June 27, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked a question about Pacific island countries not attending the United Nations Ocean Conference. Tuvalu Foreign Minister Kofi claimed that mainland China blocked the list of delegations in Tuvalu. Three Taiwanese members participated in the meeting, and Tuvalu decided to withdraw from the meeting in protest.
The United Nations Ocean Conference will be officially held in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, starting from the 27th. It is reported that Tuvalu Foreign Minister Kofi made this decision on his way to Lisbon and said that three Taiwanese members were "unable to qualify to participate due to obstruction from mainland China", so he decided to turn back.
Tuvalu is a country with extremely no sense of existence. What is the point of not having a sense of existence? The tiny country Lithuania can be compared with a city in China, while Tuvalu cannot find much information on the Internet. Tuvalu is the second smallest island country in the world and the fourth smallest country in the world. Its land area is only 26 square kilometers. It is one of the least developed countries in the world announced by the United Nations . The country's main economic source is actually Domain names for sale.
The highest altitude in Tuvalu is about 4.5 meters. Due to the continuous warming of the climate in recent years, sea levels have risen , Tuvalu is facing the threat of "subjugation". In 2001, the country's government decided to gradually evacuate residents. Relocated new zealand . In terms of area, Tuvalu is comparable to the Vatican and Nauru, and their policies are also very similar. These three countries are among the few so-called "diplomatic countries" left in Taiwan. For such a small country, survival is the biggest problem. Most of the time, political stance and integrity have to give way to money. This is also the case for Taiwan. The fundamental reason why the authorities have persisted in carrying out "gold-dollar diplomacy" for so many years.
However, for such a country with no status at all, the Taiwan authorities, which consider themselves a "democratic country", are willing to be inferior to others and become its "follower". Zhao Lijian said that the Taiwan authorities are accustomed to making small moves in the international arena. Their so-called "personnel" degrade themselves and become followers of other countries in an attempt to squeeze into the United Nations Ocean Conference. This can only bring humiliation to themselves.
Since this year Biden signed a bill requiring the U.S. Secretary of State to help Taiwan regain WHO "observer" status and promote the Taiwan authorities to participate in more international organizations and affairs, the Taiwan authorities have made full efforts in the international community. "Facial brushing", from sanctioning Russia to supporting Ukraine , to actively participating in CPTPP, Indo-Pacific Economic Framework and other economic organizations. The Taiwan authorities know that no country really takes Taiwan seriously, but they continue to challenge the mainland's bottom line by relying on foreign countries and self-respect.
Some time ago, the Taiwan authorities even sent Wu Zhaoxie, the head of Taiwan’s foreign affairs department, to “save the country in a detour”. The Ukrainian government did not look down upon the Taiwan authorities. The Taiwan authorities defeated them one by one, and then provided one-to-one targeted assistance to various cities in Ukraine. They told each city the "sufferings" of the Taiwan authorities and called on "democratic countries" to unite to fight against "hegemony." The Taiwan authorities have provided a total of more than 40 million US dollars in aid to Ukrainian localities. However, compared with the massive aid from Europe and the United States, the Taiwan authorities' insignificant contribution and voice were quickly drowned out.
This situation occurs because no serious country actually takes the Taiwan authorities seriously, and few of Taiwan's remaining 14 so-called "diplomatic countries" truly recognize Taiwan's status as a so-called "country" from the bottom of their hearts. of. But for the so-called "recognition", the Taiwan authorities have already resorted to all possible means. This is not the first time that one has lowered oneself to become a "follower". Whether it is the so-called "Democracy Summit" or the "Pacific Amphibious Leaders Seminar" hosted by the United States, although Taiwan is invited, it is not allowed to appear in the name of a "country." The Taiwan authorities are still going all out to "show their face".
Tuvalu will no longer be a country, but it still has the leisure to challenge the "one China" principle, which fully shows that we still have a lot of work to do on the Taiwan issue. There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is part of China. This fact will happen sooner or later. To be rooted in the hearts of people all over the world.
