The Sino-Taiwanese differences cannot be compared with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, since Taiwan has always been an integral part of China since ancient times, and not a separate state. Therefore, Beijing, claiming its rights to the island, protects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its country.
This was stated by the Chinese Ambassador to France Liu Shai in an interview with the French newspaper Livre Noir.
- the diplomat claims, speaking about the inflexibility of Beijing's position on this issue.
The Ambassador is sure that sooner or later the island will definitely return to the "embrace of the Motherland". At the same time, he noted that the Chinese Armed Forces are in constant combat readiness.

Shortly before that, a protest was expressed in Beijing about the flight of an American P-8 Poseidon patrol aircraft over the waters of the Taiwan Strait separating the island from mainland China. The Chinese called the act of the American military a violation of international rules in order to destabilize the situation in the region.
Currently, the positions of Beijing and Washington do not coincide on many issues, including Taiwan. The forces of the People's Liberation Army of China (PLA) regularly conduct military exercises of their fleet and aviation in the immediate vicinity of the island.
