The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated that Taiwan, the Republic of China, and the People's Republic of China are not affiliated to each other, and the CCP regime has never had the right to govern Taiwan for a day.

Taiwan is a modern democratic country that actively defends the democratic system and respects human rights and the rule of law. The Chinese Communist Party’s authoritarian government has been persecuting human rights for many years, arbitrarily expanding, and bullying neighboring countries.

Any statement made by the Chinese Communist regime to distort Taiwan's sovereign status will not be able to change the internationally recognized cross-strait status quo.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also bluntly stated that China and Russia mentioned in the statement that "the two sides reaffirmed their commitment to resolutely safeguard the international system with the United Nations as the core, the international order based on international law, and the basic norms of international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter." Undoubtedly a deception.

Russia flagrantly violated the Charter of the United Nations and illegally invaded Ukraine since February 24 last year, as well as China's perverse behavior of harassing Taiwan and neighboring countries with military aircraft and ships for a long time.

Today, the two countries talk loudly and call on the international community to abide by the UN Charter and avoid humanitarian crises.

The serious harm to international peace and stability and the rules-based international order caused by the authoritarian merger of China and Russia has made the international community even more worried.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated that Taiwan is the front line of defending the democratic camp. The people of Taiwan and the government will unite to jointly defend against communist China's cultural and military threats against Taiwan, and strengthen coordination and cooperation with democratic camp countries to curb the expansion of authoritarianism and safeguard peace and harmony across the Taiwan Strait. security, and thus maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific region, as well as global stability and prosperity.
