By publishing a note with the emergency contact for Brazilians who were affected by the earthquake Last week, in Taiwan, the Lula government called the country “Chinese Taipei”, in clear defense of communist China, which does not recognize Taiwanese independence.
In an exclusive note sent to the column Between the linesdeputy Junio Amaral (PL-MG), president of the Brazil-Taiwan Parliamentary Front, contested the government’s attitude: “We regret the pejorative way in which the Asian country was treated by our Itamaraty. The Republic of China (Taiwan) is a nation sovereign with a constitution that dates back to 1946 and has a consolidated democracy based on the three principles of the people: nationalism, democracy and well-being. We had good relations with Taiwan during the Bolsonaro Government and we repudiate any attempt to diminish Taiwanese sovereignty. Relativize this is to defend the totalitarianism of Mainland China and its communist ideology originating from the bloodthirsty dictator Mao Zedong, totally antagonistic to the mold of a liberal democracy”, concluded the parliamentarian.
