China's foreign minister: Both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to China
Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang declared that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to China, asserting China's right to uphold its sovereignty.
Qin Gang dismissed accusations that China is disrupting peace, instead blaming "Taiwan independence separatist forces" and certain countries for attempting to alter the status quo.
He warned against external interference, stating that those who "play with fire on Taiwan will eventually get themselves burned," following recent Chinese military exercises near the island.
