SINGAPORE, May 31 — China hit back at French President Emmanuel Macron today for drawing a connection between the Ukraine conflict and the fate of Taiwan, saying the two issues are “different in nature, and not comparable at all”.
“Comparing the Taiwan question with the Ukraine issue is unacceptable,” China’s embassy in Singapore said on social media, a day after Macron warned Asian defence officials in Singapore not to view Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a far-away problem.
“If we consider that Russia could be allowed to take a part of the territory of Ukraine without any restriction, without any constraint, without any reaction of the global order, how would you phrase what could happen in Taiwan?” Macron told the Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia’s premier annual security forum.
“What would you do the day something happens in the Philippines?”
China’s embassy fired back that the “Taiwan question is entirely China’s internal affair. There is but one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory.”
While Taiwan considers itself a sovereign nation, China has said it will not rule out using force to bring it under its control.
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth warned Saturday at the same forum in Singapore that China was “credibly preparing” to use military force to upend the balance of power in Asia, adding the Chinese military was building the capabilities to invade Taiwan and “rehearsing for the real deal”. — AFP
There are many similarities between 5000yo Bullyland's claim for all of South China Sea (SCS) and Isaac's claim for Judea and Samaria (West Bank).
ReplyDeleteBoth are ridiculous geographical hernias that don't make historical sense either.
WB is a tiny 6000 sqkm, smaller than Negeri Sembilan, but SCS is 3.5 million sqkm, or SIX TIMES the size of Ukraine and 100 TIMES the size of Taiwan.
Both Isaac and Bully tell the UN to STFU and Get Lost.
Isaac build residential settlements on the WB but Bully build many military bases on artificial islands there, threatening all of ASEAN.
Surrendering WB to the Ishmaels will expose the entire Isaac-land to artillery-fire 24/7. Similarly the entire ASEAN will be at risk from Bully's military strength like their cheap but wonderful J10 jets and Soviet H2 bombers. All the minyak, gas, ikan dan penyu in the SCS will belong to Bully. In time all Air Asia and MAS flights from KK to KL will need airspace clearance from Bully. Where can. Kita punya kedaulatan terancam.
Why are Bolehlanders so concerned with tiny WB, 8,000 km away, but show no concern over Bully's huge claim in our backyard. Let me sagest reason: Isaacs involved in WB but not SCS. Whenever Isaacs are involved it is a Zero Sum Game and Isaac must always get Zero.
West Bank belongs to Palestinians, recognised as such by the UN and most of the World - The nine dotted line embraces islets and atolls that were staked as belonging to ancient-medieval China - even Pinoy and Malaysia had stoushes on some so how could Pinoy claim something not even recognised as theirs in the first place.
Delete'claim for all of South China Sea (SCS)'
DeleteMfering lie AGAIN!
China only claims those landmasses within the Nine Dash lines, which accounted for less than 30% of the total area of SCS.
SCS embraces an area of about 1,423,000 square miles (3,685,000 square km).
Mfer, Isaacs involved in WB via an illegally claim from their grandmother's fairytale.
DeleteOther than that story, there r NO concrete & proven archeological conclusions. Many excavations within WB r just conjecture interpretations of the existence of Judea and Samaria!
Similarly Judea and Samaria belongs to ancient-medieval Isaacs.
DeleteRecognition by UN is of no consequence, just like many countries' recognition and UNCLOS ruling on Scarborough Shoal that it belongs to Pinoys but this UN ruling is of no consequence to 5000yo Bullyland.
Another example:
Only six countries publicly recognize Russia's annexation of Crimea: Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Syria, Afghanistan, and North Korea. The vast majority of countries, including the UN General Assembly, recognize Crimea as part of Ukraine, not Russia. The annexation is widely condemned as a violation of international law.
The West Bank was under Jordan from 1948 to 1967, but there was no poop or peep for Palestinians for independence then. Its only when Isaac came into the picture, because having a dangerous enemy that wants to wipe you out as your close neighbour (like Gaza) then the Palestinians protest.
Second Thomas Shoal, located in the Spratly Islands, is about 200 kilometres west of the western Philippines island of Palawan and more than 1,000 kilometres from China's nearest major landmass of Hainan island.
DeleteKtemoc is your typical brainless Chinaman Malaysian blindly accepting China claim , which is just based in briute might while denying Phillipines has any recognisable rights.
'Judea and Samaria belongs to ancient-medieval Isaacs'
DeleteAncient-medieval Isaacs ONLY mentioned in that grandmother's fairytale.
'UNCLOS ruling on Scarborough Shoal that it belongs to Pinoys'
When & where have UNCLOS ruled that?
Within the clauses of UNCLOS, historical & prime initiatial discoverer hold the right of find.
'there was no poop or peep for Palestinians for independence then. Its only when Isaac came into the picture'
No poop or peep for Palestinians for independence bcoz a zionist state was forcefully thrown into that land w/o any native agreement via Belfour declaration. The then Palestinians were of Jordan citizenry sharing almost 100% living similarities. The zionists were/are Europe rejected foreigners illegally taken their lands. Thus, the sudden appearance of the zionists were/are the TRUE cause of the current ME miseries!
That know-nothing mfer is playing its f*cked proximity rule of ownership AGAIN.
DeleteOoooop… next tome he better DON'T complain when a neighbor put claim on its backyard just bcoz of the wall separating the land.
Hehehe...Macron is confused..
ReplyDeleteHe hasn't been the same since his wife slapped him on the plane coming in to Vietnam.
