In response to the claims on Taiwan declared by the Chinese leader at the reception marking the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese government, the Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) today (01/10) in response to media inquiries, in addition to reiterating our four insistences, further put forward “three demands and one hope”, including the demand for maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, the demand for international space, the legitimate rights and interests of participating in international organizations, and the hope that it will no longer interfere with our cheering for Taiwan athletes during the Olympic Games.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping said that Taiwan is China’s sacred territory and reaffirmed his adherence to the one-China principle and the 92 consensus.
The Taiwan’s MOFA reiterated that Taiwan is a sovereign country and is not subordinate to the People’s Republic of China, and Taiwan has never been a part of the People’s Republic of China.
The Taiwan’s MOFA said that at the reception, the Chinese leader said that he wanted to promote the spiritual harmony of compatriots on both sides of the strait, and also said that he hoped for the people of Taiwan, but the Taiwan’s MOFA wanted to tell the people of Taiwan on the other side of the strait about the four insistences, including the liberal and democratic constitutional system.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Liou Yung-Jian said: “We also demand the maintenance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, the due international space, the legitimate rights and interests of participating in international organizations, and we also hope that Taiwan’s athletes will not be disturbed when cheering for the Olympic Games.”
The Mainland Affair Council also solemnly responded to Xi Jinping’s statement, stressing that the CCP takes the so-called one-China principle and the ’92 consensus as the political premise for cross-strait interaction, has no room for Taiwan’s survival, and has long been firmly rejected by Taiwan’s mainstream public opinion, so it calls on the other side of the strait to face up to the reality of the two sides of the strait and the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan, and resolve differences through pragmatic communication and dialogue.
針對中國領導人在建政75週年招待會上提出的對台立場，外交部今天（1日）在回應媒體提問時，除了重申我方的四項堅持外，還進一步提出了「三項要求、一項希望」。這些要求包括維持台海的和平與穩定、確保應有的國際空間、以及參與國際組織的正當權益，並希望在奧運比賽期間不再受到干擾，以便為台灣選手加油。
中國領導人習近平強調台灣是中國的神聖領土，並重申一中原則和九二共識。對此，外交部重申，中華民國台灣是一個主權國家，與中華人民共和國互不隸屬，台灣從未是中華人民共和國的一部分，這一點是國際社會普遍認同的事實。
外交部指出，中國領導人在招待會上提到要促進兩岸同胞的心靈契合，並對台灣人民寄予厚望。然而，外交部也強調，台灣人民對於包括自由民主憲政體制在內的「四個堅持」有著明確的立場。外交部發言人劉永健表示：「我們要求維持台海的和平穩定，要求應有的國際空間，要求參與國際組織的正當權益，並希望在奧運會期間不再受到干擾。」
陸委會也對習近平的言論作出嚴正回應，強調中共以所謂的一中原則和九二共識作為兩岸互動的政治前提，這使得中華民國無法生存，早已被台灣主流民意堅決拒絕。因此，呼籲對岸應正視兩岸現實及台灣主流民意，通過務實的溝通對話來化解分歧。
