The minister stressed that Taiwan belongs to China and solving this issue is an internal matter and one of the main interests as a nation.

Fenghe considered the recent meeting between presidents Xi Jinping and Joe Biden as a guide for the development of Beijing-Washington relations, while urging for a “rational and practical” policy towards China and also calling for rooling out a consensus of both dignitaries.

Moreover, Wei said that the Chinese Army values ties with the United States, but respect for its interests must prevail.
