Taipei, Taiwan – Along with fulminant Against the United States, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi reaffirmed the claims of the Southern China Sea, criticized Japan for their past aggression and covered a wide range of other problems during their annual meeting with the press. These are some of the key topics covered during your Friday press conference.
China has frequently faced with the Philippines during Property and access to islands in the South China Sea, whose rich Chinese fishing fields claims virtually entirely. However, Wang hastened to blame in another place, saying that Manila was being manipulated by “outside the region” forces, its standard term for the United States
Wang called on the entire conflict a “shadow game”, saying that an unidentified regional official had used the term in a recent meeting, and said that each incident was a “script line” disseminated by foreign media with the aim of “staining to China.”
“China will continue to safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in accordance with the law. When handling the second Thomas Shoal and Scarborough Shoal, we will also reflect our humanitarian spirit according to real needs. But I want to make clear here that the infraction and provocation will inevitably give their own fruit, and those who are willing to be chess pieces will eventually be discarded. ”
Wang also said that Chinese cooperation with its neighbors had eliminated many of the compounds where Chinese citizens, many of them coercion or attract for false promises of legitimate works, are forced to contact people in China in China. An offer to extract money from them Through false claims of debts owed or other illegal means.
“All cyber fraud parks in northern Myanmar, near the border, have been clear. China, Thailand, Myanmar and Laos are working together to take energetic measures against cyber fraud in the border area of Thai-Myanmar. Our mission is to cut the evil hands that reach people and eradicate online cyber fraud cancer, ”said Wang.
These operations, generally linked to organized crime, are notoriously quick to resume operations elsewhere. China has been fighting for years as gangs grew increasingly sophisticated in their access to private victims. Hundreds of citizens from other countries have also been trapped in such fraudulent schemes aimed at victims as far as the United States.
Wang referred to the next 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, saying “there are still some people in Japan who have not reflected on their mistakes.” China’s education and propaganda systems maintain alive memories of the brutal invasion and occupation of Japan of much of China before and during the war and boycots of anti-Japanese consumers and other protests emerge on the perceived desaits.
Wang also linked the problem with Taiwan, the autonomous island democracy that was a Japanese colony until the end of the war and that maintains close links with Japan until today. China claims the island as its own territory and has threatened to take control by force if necessary. Wang said: “It is better to remember that if Taiwan causes problems, it is causing problems to Japan.”
China also claims uninhabited islands in the Eastern Sea of China that are controlled by Japan, and regularly sends ships and airplanes in areas that surround them, as with Taiwan. That leads Japan to stir planes to defend what they say are legitimately absorbed islands before World War II because no other nation had a legal claim for them. That has also demonstrated a source of tension in the region and a space where China can challenge the authority of the United States and its allies.
The wand promoted China as “the Stability Center in Asia, an Economic Development Motor and a regional security support”, while exploiting the US. Based on intermediate range missiles Around China and “he has done nothing more than Advance problems and create divisions. “ China advocates “opening regionalism and sharing Asia’s development opportunities on the basis of mutual respect, mutual benefit and winning results.”
Wang said: “If each country emphasizes my country first and is obsessed with a position of force, the law of the jungle would reign (through) of the world again.” Although China has been subject to suspicion and concern from the Indian Ocean to northern Japan, the South Pacific has recently emerged as an important area of competition between China on the one hand and the United States, Australia and New Zealand on the other.
China’s secret security agreements and infrastructure promises have led the three to harden relations in recognition of the strategic geographical location of the islands after years of what some have described as negligence. However, a US limit in AID, along with generous Chinese incentives, could push them even more to Beijing’s arms. Three of these: Tuvalu, Palau and the Marshall Islands are also among the handful of Taiwan formal diplomatic allies.
