China’s claim on Taiwan is ‘Communist delusion’ – Ukraine
China’s claim of sovereignty over Taiwan is little more than a “discredited Communist delusion,” according to high-ranking Ukrainian foreign affairs official Aleksandr Merezhko.
“The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) keeps crying Taiwan belongs to them,” Merezhko, who chairs Ukraine’s Committee on Foreign Affairs on behalf of the ruling Servants of the People party, wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
“But this is a Communist delusion drawing on denial and a deeply discredited and defunct political agenda,” he added. The official also provided a link to the American foreign affairs periodical The National Interest, which in October of 2022 published an article titled ‘China Has No Legal Claim to Taiwan.’
The article, which Merezhko described as the “irrefutable truth” and an “expert take,” was written by Peter C Hansen, an American specialist in international law who’s based in Washington DC, and by Michael Rubin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and former official at the Pentagon.
