Hey there! Have you ever heard about the one-China principle? 🧐 It’s a big topic in the news right now, especially between China and a country called Guatemala 🇬🇹.
On Friday, a spokesperson from China’s Foreign Ministry, Lin Jian, talked about how it would be a good idea for Guatemala to recognize this principle. But what does that mean? Let’s break it down!
What is the one-China principle? 🤔
The one-China principle means that there’s only one country called China, and Taiwan is an island that’s an inseparable part of China’s territory. China believes it should be reunited with the rest of the country.
Guatemala’s President, Bernardo Arevalo, recently visited Taiwan region. China thinks that if Guatemala recognizes the one-China principle and builds a relationship with China, it would be great for both countries! 🌟
Lin Jian said that 183 countries around the world have diplomatic relations with China. That’s a lot! 🌍 He believes that following the one-China principle is the right thing to do and hopes that Guatemala will join in.
Why does this matter? Well, when countries get along and understand each other, they can work together on big issues like trade, health, and the environment. 🤝
So, what do you think? It’s interesting to see how countries communicate and make decisions that affect everyone!
