Taipei hits back at Anwar over China-Taiwan remarks; DAP's red line not yet defined

KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has found himself in the middle of the continued geopolitical dispute between China and Taiwan.This was following his remarks in an interview with Al Jazeera on the One China policy, as well as China’s right to use force.In response, Taiwan’s Foreign Affairs Ministry accused Anwar of making “false” remarks by “absurdly implying that the country is a separatist province of China and publicly rationalising China’s stance on unifying Taiwan by force”.It reiterated that Taiwan is a sovereign and independent country, and is not subordinate to China, and accused Anwar of jeopardising peace in the region.Meanwhile, in a separate story several DAP leaders have stated that DAP’s specific red line for remaining in or exiting the coalition government has yet to be clearly defined.However, DAP central executive committee (CEC) member Sheikh Umar Bagharib Ali said the red line should not necessarily be understood as an ultimatum to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
