Speaking during a regular news briefing on Monday, May 18, 2026, spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated that China has taken note of the US President's latest remarks. The spokesperson emphasized the longstanding and unwavering position of the Chinese government on the matter.
"Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory; it has never been a country and will never be one in the future," Guo declared, underscoring the fundamental stance regarding the status of the Taiwan region.
The response comes at a time of continued global focus on cross-strait ties and the geopolitical landscape of Asia. For business professionals, investors, and diplomatic observers, such statements reinforce the importance of understanding China's core interests as they relate to territorial integrity and regional stability.
