The Chinese Embassy in Somalia said that Senator Ted Cruz\u2019s letter asking Trump to \u201crecognize\u201d Somaliland was an attack on China-Somalia relations and a clear interference in Somalia\u2019s internal affairs.<\/p>\n

The embassy said that this incident shows the authoritarian and oppressive political behavior of some US politicians towards the Somali people.<\/p>\n

The statement from the Chinese Embassy noted that it is important to protect Somalia\u2019s independence and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, which it stated are principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter, which are essential for international peace and stability.<\/p>\n

It stressed that China never interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, and does not accept anyone else interfering in its internal affairs.<\/p>\n

The embassy also reiterated China\u2019s position on the Taiwan issue, describing it as an inalienable part of China\u2019s territory, which is an indisputable fact of history and history. She strongly opposed Taiwan’s independence and any foreign interference, saying that China has the legitimate right to take any action to defend its national independence and territorial integrity.<\/p>\n

Senator Ted Cruz, chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on African Affairs and Global Health Policy, has formally called on President Donald Trump to recognize Somaliland, according to a letter he submitted to him on Thursday (August 14).<\/p>\n

Cruz\u2019s letter states that \u201cSomaliland has become a critical ally for U.S. security and diplomacy,\u201d noting its strategic location on the Gulf of Aden, its role in combating terrorism and piracy in the region, and the diplomatic ties it has developed \u2014 including hosting a Taiwanese representative office in Hargeisa, seeking ties with Israel, and support for the Abraham Accords.<\/p>\n

Cruz also said Somaliland is facing increasing pressure from adversaries including the Chinese Communist Party, which he accused of using economic and diplomatic pressure to punish Somaliland for its support for Taiwan and its alignment with the West.<\/p>\n

He argued that formal US recognition of Somaliland would enable broader military cooperation, promote trade and economic cooperation, and serve common security goals in the Horn of Africa.<\/p>\n
