Chinese Ambassador Pens Article for Malaysian Media

On November 18, 2025, the Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia published a commentary across multiple Malaysian outlets asserting that Taiwan’s “reunification” with the PRC — discourse that China has consistently pushed, but that does not accord with Taiwan’s history or with the will of the vast majority of Taiwanese — is “inevitable.” The piece, written by Chinese Ambassador Ouyang Yujing, appeared in Sin Chew Daily, Nanyang Siang Pau, China Press, Oriental Daily, Kwong Wah Yit Poh, Guang Ming Daily, The Star, Malay Mail, and Malaysia-China Insight. In the commentary, Ouyang accused Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (民主進步黨) of refusing to recognize the 1992 Consensus — a highly contested framework for managing the cross-strait relationship — and of the “obstinate pursuit” of what he called “Taiwan independence.” The ambassador claimed that unspecified “external forces,” which he said were obstructing reunification, “will also be swept aside by the tide of history.” Meanwhile, he praised Malaysia’s government for its adherence to the one-China policy.
