Learn more about President Marcos’ clarification regarding his congratulatory post to Taiwan’s new leader and his commitment to the One-China Policy amidst Beijing’s disapproval. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. clarified that his congratulatory message to Taiwan’s newly elected leader, Lai Ching-te, was simply an act of courtesy and not an endorsement of Taiwan’s independence from China. Marcos explained that when he became president, he received congratulatory messages, so he extended the same courtesy to Lai. He emphasized that his administration remains committed to the One-China Policy and does not endorse Taiwanese independence. Marcos expressed surprise at Beijing’s negative reaction to his gesture but reiterated his administration’s dedication to the One-China Policy. He emphasized that the reunification of Taiwan with China is an internal matter, and their focus is on maintaining peace and avoiding conflicts. The President’s greeting to Lai was posted on his official account on X, formerly Twitter, where he expressed hopes for closer collaboration, mutual interests, peace, and prosperity between the Philippines and Taiwan. However, Beijing’s foreign ministry expressed strong dissatisfaction with Marcos’ remarks, considering them a serious breach of the Philippines’ political commitments and interference in China’s internal affairs.
