Taiwan Rejects China's UN Claims, Calls Beijing Real Security Threat at Munich Conference

  • Taiwan's Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung stated China is the real security threat, rejecting its UN Charter claims at the Munich Security Conference.
  • Lin rebuffed comments by China's top diplomat, Wang Yi, who warned against attempts to 'split Taiwan from China' and emphasized upholding the UN Charter.
  • Taiwan asserts its sovereignty has never belonged to the People's Republic of China, citing historical facts, objective reality, and international law.
  • Lin accused China of military provocations and violating UN Charter principles, exposing a 'hegemonic mindset' inconsistent with its words.
  • Taiwan's government maintains the island was handed to the Republic of China in 1945, not the People's Republic, thus Beijing has no claim to sovereignty.
