US inviting Taiwan to "summit" shows it uses democracy to push its selfish agenda

Radio Television Hong Kong: As the Participant List published on the US State Department website, US President Biden has invited about 110 countries and regions to attend the "Summit for Democracy", the Taiwan authorities included. What is the Foreign Ministry's response?

Zhao Lijian: China firmly opposes the invitation by the US for the Taiwan authorities to attend the so-called "Summit for Democracy". There is but one China in the world, the government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the one-China principle is a universally-recognized norm governing international relations. Taiwan has no other status in international law except as part of China. We solemnly urge the US to abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués, stop providing "Taiwan independence" forces with any platform or bolstering and emboldening them. Those offering platform to "Taiwan independence" forces will find themselves in an embarrassing place. Those playing with fire with "Taiwan independence" forces will end up getting burned.

As to the "Summit for Democracy", we have repeatedly stated our position. Democracy is a common value of all humanity, not the patent of a few countries. What the US has done shows exactly that it is only using democracy as a cover and tool to advance its geostrategic goals, suppress other countries, divide the world, and serve its selfish agenda of maintaining hegemony. Its acts of practicing bloc politics and inciting confrontation under the guise of democracy are reincarnation of the Cold War mentality and have been widely questioned and rejected by visionary people of the international community.
