In the past two years, Beijing has stepped up military and diplomatic pressure to assert its sovereignty claims, angering Taipei and deep concern in Washington.

Speaking in Beijing, Wang Yi said the cause of the current tension was the Taiwan government’s attempt to rely on the United States for independence. “And the United States and other countries that are trying to use Taiwan to control China,” he said, quoted Reuters.

“It is these misguided actions that have changed the status quo and undermined peace in the Taiwan Strait, violating the international community’s consensus and basic norms of international relations,” said Wang Yi, former head of China’s Taiwan Affairs Office.

“In response to this, China has taken strong countermeasures to shock the arrogance of those seeking Taiwan’s formal independence,” he said.

“Taiwan is a traveler who will eventually return home, not a chess pawn to be used by others. China must and will be reunited.”
