Hey there! Have you ever had someone tell you to mind your own business? Well, something like that is happening between some big countries! Recently, China asked the United States and Japan to stop interfering in its affairs.
Who’s Saying What?
China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, spoke at a press conference and made this request. But why?
What’s the Big Deal About Taiwan?
Taiwan is an island region that China considers a part of its country. This is a very important topic for China, and they call it the ‘Taiwan question.’ China doesn’t like it when other countries talk about Taiwan in ways that suggest it’s separate.
Recently, the U.S. and Japan made some comments about Taiwan that China didn’t appreciate. They discussed Taiwan in their meetings, and China feels this is interfering in its internal affairs.
History Reminder
China also reminded Japan about the past. A long time ago, Japan had control over Taiwan. China thinks that because of this history, Japan should be extra careful and respectful when talking about Taiwan now.
What Does China Want?
China is asking the U.S. and Japan to follow the ‘one-China principle.’ This means recognizing that there is only one China, and Taiwan is a part of it. They want both countries to stop interfering and to honor their commitments.
Why Should We Care?
It’s important for countries to get along and respect each other’s boundaries. When big countries have disagreements, it can affect the whole world. Let’s hope they can work things out peacefully! 🌍✌️
