The Kremlin’s position on the Taiwan question is unchanged and has been repeatedly reaffirmed at the highest level.
On Tuesday, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Russia recognizes Taiwan as an inalienable part of China and opposes any form of “Taiwan independence.”

Some countries, while claiming their adherence to the one-China principle, advocate maintaining the status quo, which runs counter to the principle of China’s national reunification, the ministry said in a statement.
The Taiwan question is currently being used by certain countries as an instrument of military and strategic containment against China, the ministry added.
Russia’s principled position on the Taiwan question is well known, unchanged, and has been repeatedly reaffirmed at the highest level, the Russian diplomacy said, adding that the Taiwan question is China’s internal affair and China has every legitimate basis to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

On Tuesday night, the Chinese Embassy in Britain said that China “deeply deplores” and “firmly opposes” the remarks related to China’s Taiwan made by the British side.
Following the Chinese military exercises around Taiwan, a spokesperson of Britain’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said that they have called for “restraint and the avoidance of any further actions that risk undermining peace and stability,” a remark the Chinese embassy called “erroneous” and “a misrepresentation of the facts and a manipulation of the truth.”
“Taiwan is a province of China, and the Taiwan question is China’s internal affair,” a spokesperson of the Chinese embassy said, adding that the drills conducted by the PLA are a punitive and deterrent action against Taiwan separatist forces, a stern warning against external interference and a necessary move to safeguard China’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
“No country is entitled to make irresponsible comments on it,” the spokesperson said, noting that China urges the British government to “earnestly respect the one-China principle and honor its commitment to China, refraining from any action which interferes in China’s internal affairs, emboldens the separatists in Taiwan and undermines peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.”
