In a recent development at the Munich Security Conference, Taiwan's Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung criticized China as the 'real threat to security,' accusing Beijing of hypocrisy in its claims to uphold UN peace principles. This statement was a direct response to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's remarks at the conference, where he accused some countries of attempting to 'split Taiwan from China' and emphasized the importance of the United Nations Charter. Lin rebuffed these claims, stating that 'whether viewed from historical facts, objective reality or under international law, Taiwan's sovereignty has never belonged to the People's Republic of China.' He further accused China of engaging in military provocations and violating UN Charter principles by using force or threats, highlighting a 'hegemonic mindset that does not match its words with its actions' (The Frontier Post, Tribune Home, gmanetwork).
