Wang Yi Warns Czech Will Pay Heavy Price for Taiwan Visit
Hopes Europe Will Help Resolve China and the US Tension

Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, visiting Europe, hopes that France and other European countries will help ease the tension between China and the United States. In response to Taiwan visit of the delegation of the Czech senate president, Wang reiterated that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. Anyone challenging the one-China principle is making themselves enemies of 1.4 billion Chinese people and will pay a heavy price for their moves.

In a speech on Sunday (Aug 30) at the French Institute of International Relations (IFRI), Wang said that the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century; the threat of the pandemic has not receded; the global economy is in a deep recession. In order to face the waves of unemployment, bankruptcies, broken links and so on, Wang called for China and Europe to unite against the disruption of the world.

He said that China is against any conspiracy of the new cold war and firmly defends multilateralism. Unilateralist and bullying acts have been intensified and posed the biggest challenge to the multilateralism. He urged Europe against unilateralism and bullying acts to prevent the return of politics power. He continued that decoupling from China, a huge and the most dynamic market, meant to disconnect opportunities.

However, when Wang was asked about the tension between China and the US, he hoped France and other European countries assisting in meditation, added that the door of dialogue with Washington is always open. He believed to reach consensus if they could have a serious talk. He emphasised that China always insists peaceful development and oppose confrontation; even some radical forces in the US intend to provoke disputes.

China culture crackdown a sign of 'profound' political change - commentary

China's crackdown on celebrity culture and its moves to rein in giant internet firms are a sign of "profound" political changes under way in the country, a prominent blogger said in a post widely circulated across state media.

The Chinese government has recently taken action against what it has described as "chaotic" online fan club culture, and has also punished celebrities for tax evasion and other offences.

In a wide-ranging series of interventions in the economy, it has also promised to tackle inequality, "excessively high" incomes, soaring property prices and profit-seeking education institutions.
