Malaysian PM tells Al Jazeera 'Taiwan is part of China, no doubt' in heated exchange
面对外媒记者追问 马来西亚总理就台湾问题作明确表态
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim stated unequivocally in an Al Jazeera interview aired August 16 that 'Taiwan is part of China, no doubt,' pushing back against repeated questioning from the host. Anwar drew a parallel with a hypothetical secession of a Malaysian state, saying he would defend national unity. The article, sourced from Huanqiu.com, also appends remarks by Philippine President Marcos Jr. that the Philippines would not permit U.S. attacks from its territory in a Taiwan contingency, while noting his continued hard line on the South China Sea.
