Taiwan's Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung firmly challenged China’s claims at the Munich Security Conference, declaring Taiwan's sovereignty and accusing China of military provocations.

China considers Taiwan as its territory, a stance Taiwan rejects by affirming that only its people can decide its future, despite historical assertions made by China.

China's assertion that Taiwan was returned to its rule post-World War II is refuted by Taiwan, maintaining its sovereignty under different historical interpretations and the unchanged republican government on the island.
