In an interview with Chinese state television CGTN on Saturday, China’s ambassador to US Cui Tiankai urged US to “honor their commitment” on one-China policy. Meanwhile, he also claimed that “we always honor our commitment” regarding trade.
Cui emphasized a “local election in Taiwan is a local election in Taiwan, province of China. As far as the US is concerned, the US has made commitments to the one-China policy in the three joint communiques between China and the US, and I just hope they will honour their commitment”.
He added that “the bottom line is the one-China principle. There is only one China in the world. Both Taiwan and the Chinese mainland are part of China. China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity should not be violated.”
On trade, Cui said, “as far as we are concerned, we always honour our commitment. We will always implement what we promised. There is no problem about that”. And, “I’m confident that since we have spent so much time with such great efforts at reaching this agreement, I think it would certainly serve the interests of both sides if this agreement is implemented.”
