[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] China strongly reacted to U.S. President Joe Biden's remarks suggesting that the U.S. could take military action if Taiwan is invaded.

Hua Chunying, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated at a regular briefing on the 20th, "The One-China principle is a red line that no country can ever cross."

She added, "China will inevitably be reunified, and no one should underestimate the firm will and strong capability of the Chinese people to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity."

Earlier, President Biden said in an interview with ABC on the 19th, "If allies such as South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and NATO are invaded, the United States will respond."

Spokesperson Hua said, "The situation in Taiwan is fundamentally different from Afghanistan," and emphasized, "Afghanistan is a sovereign country, but Taiwan is an inseparable part of Chinese territory."

She pointed out that every U.S. military intervention overseas since 1945 has failed, noting that the true factor determining victory or defeat is not military power but public sentiment.

Hua stated, "This again shows that military intervention cannot succeed," and added, "Trying to solve problems through coercion and military means only creates more problems."

She raised her voice, saying, "Forcibly transplanting American-style democracy into countries with vastly different histories, cultures, and circumstances ultimately ends in failure."

Hua urged, "The United States should become wiser after experiencing enough failures," and called on "the U.S. and the U.K. to deeply reflect on their frequent military interventions and interference in other countries' internal affairs."

Furthermore, she said, "As a major power, the United States must seriously consider what responsibilities it has for world peace, stability, and development," and added, "It must not become a country that plunges regions into chaos."
