China is the real threat, Taiwan says in rebuff to Wang Yi’s Munich speech
China is the real threat to security and is hypocritically claiming to uphold UN principles of peace, Taiwan Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung said on Feb 15 in a rebuff to comments by China's top diplomat at the Munich Security Conference, Reuters reported.
China views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, a view the government in Taipei rejects, saying only Taiwan’s people can decide their future.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, addressing the annual security conference on Feb 14, warned that some countries were “trying to split Taiwan from China”, blamed Japan for tensions over the island and underscored the importance of upholding the UN Charter, according to Reuters.
