Earlier, Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung had described China as a “regional troublemaker” after the Solomon Islands barred Taiwan and other dialogue partners, including the US, from the upcoming Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) Leaders’ Meeting, according to a report by the Taipei Times, citing an Australian daily.
Citing the “Pacific Way” of inclusiveness, Lin warned that excluding dialogue partners undermines the forum’s ability to address common challenges, as reported by the Taipei Times.
Rejecting Beijing’s claims over Taiwan, Lin emphasised that the People’s Republic of China “has never ruled Taiwan for even a single day” and noted that UN Resolution 2758 does not refer to Taiwan, according to the Taipei Times.
Calling China’s narrative “the emperor’s new clothes,” he said, “Telling a lie 100 times does not make it true.”
Lin added that Taiwan is pushing back against Beijing’s suppression through deeper international cooperation, practical contributions, and sustained diplomatic outreach. (ANI)
