Chinese Ambassador to Indonesia Wang Lutong recently published a signed article titled "Taiwan is a Province of the People's Republic of China, Never a Country" in mainstream Indonesian media such as The Jakarta Post and Antara News Agency, clarifying China's principled stance on the Taiwan issue.
The article emphasizes that Taiwan has been an inalienable part of China since ancient times, with solid historical and legal basis. Japan seized Taiwan through war in 1895, and after World War II, international legal documents such as the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation explicitly stipulated Japan's return of Taiwan to China. On October 25, 1945, the Chinese government resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Taiwan.
In 1971, UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 restored all legitimate rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations by an overwhelming majority, confirming that the government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China, fundamentally establishing the One China principle. Currently, 183 countries around the world, including Indonesia, have established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of the One China principle.
The article points out that the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair and brooks no external interference. The Chinese government adheres to the policy of peaceful reunification, with the greatest sincerity to strive for a peaceful prospect, but will never tolerate any "Taiwan independence" separatist activities. China appreciates Indonesia's long-standing firm support for the One China principle and looks forward to continued support from all sectors in Indonesia for China's peaceful reunification cause.
