On the 14th of this month, the President of the country, Kawachu, instructed the Minister of Foreign Affairs to handle the establishment of diplomatic relations with China, which has aroused great concern from the United States, Japan and other countries. .

Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs recalled Zhang Junfei, the ambassador to Hongguo, to express our strong dissatisfaction. Zhang has arrived in Taiwan this morning.

Regarding Hongguo's confirmation that it had asked for NT$60 billion in aid, which was declined by us, Times Power spokesperson Yu Jiaxi pointed out that Hongguo has repeatedly asked for huge amounts of aid. This kind of diplomatic relationship established through money is "unacceptable to us."

Yu Jiaqian pointed out that the power of the times expressed strong regret for the Hongguo government's decision to establish diplomatic relations with China.

In response to Hongguo's repeated requests for huge amounts of aid from Taiwan, this kind of diplomatic relationship established through money or hegemony is also unacceptable.

We earnestly look forward to an unprecedented good Taiwan-US relations can be implemented into more concrete results.
