The US Say No Position on Taiwan Sovereignty, but “One-China Policy” is Distinct from “One-China Principle”
In response to press inquiries, the US Department of State spokesperson further elaborates US's stance on Taiwan policy. He pointed out that the US has long followed a “One-China Policy” which is distinct from Beijing's “One-China Principle”. The spokesperson said the China Communist Party (CCP) asserts sovereignty over Taiwan under the “One-China Principle”, but the US takes no position on sovereignty over Taiwan.
The spokesperson added, "the fundamental U.S. interest is that the Taiwan question be resolved peacefully, without coercion, and in a manner acceptable to the people on both sides of the Strait". In his reply, he emphasize the U.S.' One China policy remains guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three Joint Communiques between the U.S. and China, and the Six Assurances to Taiwan by Ronald Reagan, as it has been in the past four decades.
The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in an interview with Hugh Hewitt Show that the US has prescribed that Taiwan has not been part of China, and that was recognized since the Reagan administration, adhered to now for three and a half decades, and done so under both Democratic and the Republican administrations, in fact, a bipartian consensus. Since Pompeo's speech was questioned as a violation of the “one China principle,” it reportedly triggered strong discontent among hardliners in Beijing.

Pope Francis Mentions the Prosecution of Xinjiang Uyghurs
The Chinese government sets up “Re-education Camps” in Xinjiang in recent years with masses detention of Uyghurs, drawing global attention to humanitarian issues. After years of demands from human rights defenders, Pope Francis firstly said the Xinjiang Uyghurs as “persecuted” people in his new book – Let Us Dream: The Path to A Better Future.
He mentioned Xinjiang Uyghurs in a chapter on the persecution of Christians in Islamic countries, “I occasionally think of the persecuted: Rohingya, poor Uyghurs and Yazidi.” Francis did mention about Rohingya fleeing Myanmar and Yazidi who is being killed in Islamic countries. This is his first time mentioned Uyghurs.
The United States Secretary of State Pompeo earlier criticized China on suppressing the Uyghurs in Xinjiang at the Vatican meeting. Yet, the Vatican has never spoken out on related issues. Some commentators think that the Vatican did not speak out for Uyghurs earlier to avoid affecting Sino-Vatican contract renewal negotiation.

The US State Department Terminates 5 US-China Exchange Programmes, with 1 Involving Hong Kong
The US Secretary of State Pompeo announced on Saturday (5th) the termination of five US-China exchange programmes in a statement. It describes that the relevant plan is concealed by “cultural exchange”, which actually is a political propaganda tool to show off the soft power of China. Among the five terminated plans, one of them involves Hong Kong, which is the Hong Kong Educational and Cultural Programme.
The other four terminated plans are Policymakers Educational China Trip Programme, US-China Friendship Programme, the US-China Leadership Exchange Programme, and US-China Transpacific Exchange Programme.
Pompeo points out in a statement that these exchange activities are conducted in accordance to the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act in the US, which allows the US government employees to use the subsidy from foreign government for travel. He criticises that when other exchange programmes are mutually beneficial, the five programmes in question are fully funded and operated by the (Chinese) government as soft power propaganda tools, with a well-designed itinerary. Participants can only contact the CCP officials, which Chinese citizen is not enjoying the freedom of speech and assembly.

The statement indicated that there is only one China in the world and that "the Government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government representing the whole of China, and Taiwan is an inseparable part of China's territory." It also said that the U.S. side had made a clear commitment to this in the three U.S.-China joint communiqués and that "China is firmly opposed to any form of official U.S.-Taiwan relations, and this position is consistent and clear.
The statement also said that Taiwan issues are related to China sovereignty and territorial integrity and "involves China's core interests", adding that the one-China principle is "a broad consensus of the international community" and is confirmed by a United Nations General Assembly resolution.

The U.S. side will definitely pay a heavy price for its wrongdoing"; China also strongly urged the U.S. side to stop its "crazy provocations", to stop creating new difficulties for China-U.S. relations and cooperation between the two sides in the United Nations, and to "not to go further down that wrong path".

US Announces Lifting All Restrictions on Taiwan Relations.
Global Times: If Pompeo Visits Taiwan, PLA Fighter Jets Will Fly into Taiwan
Less than 2 weeks before the end of the Trump administration, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced to lift all restrictions on Taiwan relations. Global Times warned that People’s Liberation Army fighter jets would fly into Taiwan to declare China’s sovereignty over Taiwan if Pompeo were to visit Taiwan before the end of his term. Global Times also threatened the possibility of waging war. Xinhua News Agency criticized Pompeo of his “malicious intentions” and his “very poor handling of the affair with Taiwan”.
On 9th January, US Secretary of State Pompeo issued a statement announcing the lifting of self-imposed restrictions on contacts between US officials and their Taiwanese counterparts, pointing out that the US State Department had imposed such restrictions on the interaction with Taiwan on their own diplomats and government officials in the past few decades in an attempt to appease Beijing.
In response to Pompeo’s announcement, Global Times stated that the lifting of all restrictions between US and Taiwan officials would place US and China in opposing positions. If US were to “refuse to pull back before it’s too late”, and if Pompeo were to visit Taiwan before the end of his term, China would “arrange PLA fighter jets to fly into Taiwan at once” and “declare its sovereignty over Taiwan in a way that has never been done before”. Overreaction from either US or Taiwan would likely “trigger a war”. Critics warned if Taiwan were to follow US’s “absurd madness” and attempt to go “independent”, Taiwan would likely be “summoning complete annihilation”. The article also stated that China would “defend and protect the basic rules and righteousness of human interactions”, and that “those who offend China would end in self-destruction.”

The findings of a 28-day mission by #WHO in #Wuhan were initially expected to be released last week but were delayed. It seems that there were disputes over what #CCP allows to be put in the report. At the same time, within #China, CCP is shaping a narrative that the report will be “shaped by overseas politics”. Seriously, for world health, will the WOLRD HEALTH ORGANIZATION release a report that gives us not only answers as to the origins of this pandemic, but also how to prevent another one?! If the truth is covered up, then the world might just stumble blindly into another pandemic down the road.
