Lord Dholakia 问:
China: Taiwan
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of any risks
to regional peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon 答:
In his 2 January speech, Chinese leader Xi Jinping urged Taiwan to accept
reunification with China, restating China’s long-held position that it can
use all necessary measures, including force, to secure this aim. We oppose
any action which raises tensions in the region and hinders the chances of
peaceful settlement of any issues. In line with our longstanding position on
Taiwan we encourage Taiwan and China to engage in constructive dialogue to
resolve this issue, taking into account the views of the people on both sides
of the Taiwan Strait.
