In a stunning declaration that could reshape global alliances, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has bluntly affirmed: Taiwan is an inseparable part of China — and Russia will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Beijing if tensions explode into open conflict. This is no diplomatic courtesy. This is a firm geopolitical pledge in the face of growing Western pressure and arms sales to Taipei. The world just got a lot more dangerous...

Russia has once again drawn a red line on the world map. Taiwan is NOT independent — and never will be, according to Moscow. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, in a explosive interview with TASS, made it crystal clear: "Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, and Russia stands firmly against the island’s independence in any form."
Lavrov pulled no punches, calling the Taiwan issue China's internal affair. Beijing, he said, has every legitimate right to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity — by any means necessary. The West? Accused of hypocrisy: preaching the "One China" policy while secretly fueling the status quo, arming Taipei with expensive US weapons, and using the island as a strategic dagger pointed at China's heart.
This is not empty rhetoric. The mutual defense pact is already inked — the 2001 Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation between Russia and China explicitly includes mutual support for protecting national unity and territorial integrity. Lavrov reminded everyone: Russia is bound — and ready — to act if the Taiwan Strait ignites.
The historical roots run deep: since the 1949 Chinese Civil War, Taiwan has been self-governing, but Beijing has never dropped its reunification goal. Xi Jinping prefers peace — but force remains on the table if separatism crosses the line. Now, with Russia openly in China's corner, the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific just shifted dramatically.
Is this the beginning of a new Cold War axis? Or the final warning before the storm? One thing is certain: the Taiwan question is no longer just about China and the island — it's now a frontline in the global confrontation between East and West.
