Beijing hopes Dhaka to continue support ‘one-China’ policy

China’s ambassador in Bangladesh hopes that Dhaka will continue to support and understand China’s legitimate and justified position on Taiwan question, and work together with China to defend regional peace, stability and prosperity.

Li Jiming, Ambassador of China to Bangladesh, said this on the embassy’s verified Facebook page on Thursday.

He says China and Bangladesh are good neighbors, trustworthy friends and reliable partners.

“We believe that the government and people of Bangladesh will continue to abide by the one-China principle,” says Jiming.

“The two countries have always understood and supported each other on issues of core interests concerning respective sovereignty, security and territorial integrity. China highly appreciates Bangladesh’s longstanding commitment to the one-China principle and resolute opposition to “Taiwan Independence”.”

It is mentionable that the US-China rift has deepened to a new high after the visit of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to the Taiwan region.

China strongly opposed the visit saying this is a serious violation of the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiqués.

The envoy says it infringes upon China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, sends a wrong signal to the separatist forces for “Taiwan independence”, and has a severe impact on the political foundation of China-US relations. China firmly opposes and sternly condemns this.
