SHANGHAI, April 21: The China Taiwan Strait is the major issue among others in the South China Sea. Refuting recent accusations of interference made by Taiwan, Qin Gang, Foreign Minister of China said yesterday “Taiwan Strait belong to China, and that it is the right of China to uphold its sovereignty”. 

The remarks came at the Lanting Forum in Shanghai, where wide range of topics relating to debt, global economy, and Taiwan were discussed in detail.

"Recently there has been absurd rhetoric accusing China of upending the status quo, disrupting peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait," Qin said. "The logic is absurd and the conclusion dangerous."

He also took on various accusations that China is disrupting status quo, peace, and stability across Taiwan Strait. “The logic is absurd and the results dangerous,” he added.

He left the ball in court of audience by saying that "fair-minded people can see who is engaged in hegemonic bullying and high-minded practices."

He also accused in response that "It is not the Chinese mainland, but the Taiwan independence separatist forces and a handful of countries attempting to disrupt the status quo," and. "Those who play with fire on Taiwan will eventually get themselves burned."
