SHANGHAI, China – Criticizing China over Taiwan will have dangerous consequences, Foreign Minister Qin Gang warned Friday, as he insisted Beijing is a "growing force for peace and justice."Two weeks ago, China launched three days of military exercises around Taiwan -- simulating targeted strikes and a blockade of the island -- in response to a meeting between Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen and US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
"Such claims go against basic common sense on international relations and historical justice," he told the audience in Shanghai.China claims Taiwan as its territory and has vowed to bring the island under its control one day."We will never back down in face of any act that undermines China's sovereignty and security. Those who play with fire on Taiwan will eventually get themselves burned.
The remarks on Taiwan came towards the end of a speech in which Qin repeatedly emphasized China's peaceful intentions.
