SHANGHAI – Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang defended his nation’s development path at a forum attended by foreign executives on Friday, while warning that his nation will not compromise on Taiwan.
Mr Qin also hit back at accusations China is changing the status quo regarding Taiwan. Beijing held three days of military drills around Taiwan this month to show its anger over Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen meeting House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in California. “It is not the Chinese mainland, but the Taiwan independence separatist forces and a handful of countries attempting to disrupt the status quo,” Mr Qin said. “Those who play with fire on Taiwan will eventually get themselves burned.”
The US has been briefing its Group of Seven partners on the investment curbs for high-tech industries, and hopes to get an endorsement at next month’s meeting of leaders in Japan, even though the other countries aren’t expected to announce similar restrictions at the same time, the people said.
