China accuses the US of displaying double standards by supporting Ukraine's sovereignty and simultaneously challenging Beijing's sovereignty over Taiwan
Beijing is agitated over a possible visit to the Chinese island of Taiwan by US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
A day after Chinese leader Xi Jinping warned US President Joe Biden in a phone call against playing with fire over Taiwan, deputy UN ambassador Geng Shuang on Friday reinforced the message during a meeting on Ukraine at the 15-member UN Security Council. The determination of China to defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity should not be underestimated, Geng said. Beijing is concerned about a possible visit to the Chinese island of Taiwan by US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Such a visit would be a dramatic, though not unprecedented, show of US support for Taiwan.
"China's failure to highlight Russia's role as the clear aggressor in its conflict with Ukraine calls into question its commitment to the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity," the spokesperson said.
