“The Republic of China, also known as Taiwan, is a sovereign independent state, the Taiwanese Foreign Ministry declared in reaction to Putin’s remarks.

The ministry said, “Taiwan will never yield to any threats from the government of the People’s Republic of China. Only Taiwanese can decide on Taiwan’s destiny.
The statement concluded that Taiwan will continue to work closely with “countries with similar thinking” to defend the values of democracy, freedom, and the international system based on rules and to protect the area of the Indian and calm surrounding people as well as global peace and stability in the face of malicious and irrational provocations from China.
