Dozens of nations have reaffirmed their commitment to the one-China principle following recent military exercises and diplomatic measures by China, according to Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian. The show of international support comes amid heightened attention to cross-strait relations as 2025 draws to a close.
United Front Against Separatism
Lin revealed that multiple countries have formally recognized Taiwan as an inalienable part of China's territory this month, with many explicitly opposing external interference in what they acknowledge as China's internal affairs. "These nations understand that safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity remains our core interest," the spokesperson stated during Wednesday's briefing.
Strategic Countermeasures
The consolidated international stance follows China's implementation of targeted countermeasures, including joint military drills near the Taiwan Strait. Analysts suggest these developments reflect growing global consensus against unilateral changes to the status quo, particularly through what Beijing describes as "independence collusion" between separatist forces and external actors.
Diplomatic Repercussions
Lin emphasized China's threefold resolve: protecting territorial integrity, maintaining national reunification prospects, and deterring separatist activities. "Any provocation crossing China's red lines will meet decisive countermeasures," he warned, while expressing appreciation for what he termed "the just voice of the international community."
