Mao Ning emphasized: "The Taiwan issue must be resolved by the Chinese people themselves, and there is no room for external interference here."
In a recent interview with The New York Times, Donald Trump expressed the opinion that the Chairman of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, will not take military action against Taiwan while he is in office as President of the United States. Trump added that the final decision regarding Taiwan will be made by Xi Jinping himself, but he warned Beijing that the use of force would provoke serious discontent in Washington.
The Chinese authorities have repeatedly emphasized that Taiwan is an inseparable part of China, and adherence to the "One China" principle is a fundamental condition for countries wishing to establish or maintain diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.
