Foreign countries back China’s Anti-Secession Law

The international community has continued to express support for the
adoption of the Anti-Secession Law by China’s legislature, which is
intended to prevent Taiwan’s secession from China.

In a letter to the Chinese ambassador to Tonga, Tongan Foreign
Minister Sonatane Tu’akinamolahi Taumoepeau-Tupou reaffirmed his
country’s commitment to the one-China policy and voiced appreciation
for the Anti-Secession Law, approved last week by China’s National
People’s Congress.

Taiwan is an inalienable part of China and the Taiwan question is
China’s internal affair, in which no foreign forces have the right
to interfere, he said.

The Tongan government understands China’s move to enact the law and
supports China’s reunification cause, the minister said.

An Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman said Monday that Armenia
supports the Chinese people’s endeavor to achieve national
reunification and wishes their efforts, including the newly-enacted
Anti-Secession Law, bear fruits.

Armenia made clear its position on the one-China principle in the
joint declaration signed last September by the heads of state of
Armenia and China, the spokesman said.

In a letter to his Chinese counterpart, Li Zhaoxing, Yemeni Foreign
Minister Abu Bakr Abdullah al-Kurbi said Yemen backs China’s move to
protect its territorial integrity and supports the adoption of the
Anti-Secession Law by China’s legislature.
