Reaffirming its adherence to the one-China policy and support for China's territorial integrity, Brazil voiced Tuesday concern over the "March 20 referendum" pushed by the Taiwan authorities.
"The Brazilian government voices its support for the peaceful reunification of the territory conducted by the Chinese government and joins the international community's statements against the unilateral move that would change the status quo and endanger regional peace and stability," the Brazilian Foreign Ministry said in a statement in Brasilia.
"In that sense, the Brazilian government voices concern in face of the referendum" called by the Taiwan authorities "over the purchase of advanced guns, with the purpose of splitting China and seeking 'Taiwan independence'," said the document.
