SOUTH African President Cyril Ramaphosa (R) welcomes Chinese Premier Li Qiang as he arrives for the opening of the G20 Leaders' Summit at the Nasrec Expo Centre in Johannesburg on November 22, 2025. South Africa has adhered to the one-China principle on the Taiwan question and firmly fulfilled its commitments, says the writer.

The Spokesperson pointed out that the US's massive arms sales to China's Taiwan region grossly violate the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués, infringe on China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

In response, China has decided to take countermeasures in accordance with the law against the relevant US military-related companies and senior executives who have been engaged in arming Taiwan in recent years.

There is but one China in the world. Both the Mainland and Taiwan belong to one and the same China. The Taiwan question is a leftover from the Chinese civil war.

It is purely China's internal affairs and no foreign country has the right to interfere. Taiwan's restoration to China is a victorious outcome of World War II and an integral part of the postwar international order.
