[Epoch Times December 30, 2021](The Epoch Times reporter Zhong Yuan reported in Taipei) After Nicaragua established diplomatic relations with the CCP, it seized the assets of the Republic of China and transferred them to the CCP. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China stated that it will follow legitimate international litigation to safeguard Taiwan’s diplomatic property and make Nigeria bear the responsibility for internationally wrongful acts.
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega announced the severance of diplomatic relations with the Republic of China on International Human Rights Day on December 10. Nicaraguan media reported that President Ortigia declared that based on the “One China Principle”, the Taiwanese government’s former embassy in Nicaragua was confiscated and handed over to the CCP.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China stated on the 30th that the premises and properties of the former Embassy of Taiwan in the Republic of Nicaragua are the diplomatic property legally purchased by the government of the Republic of China since 1990. According to Article 45 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, “the two countries are severed.” In diplomatic relations, the acceptance of state affairs shall respect and protect the premises of the embassy and its property and archives” and customary international law.
“After our country terminates diplomatic relations with Nicaragua, Nicaragua shall be obligated to protect the premises and properties of the Republic of China in accordance with international law.” The unreasonable rejection of the violation of the international convention led to the decision of the Republic of China to resell it to the Archdiocese of Managua, the Catholic Church, under time constraints.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China strongly condemns the illegal use of state power by the dictatorship of Nicaragua to interfere with the Republic of China’s legal transfer of diplomatic property, which in turn encroached on major violations of international law, and solemnly requires the Nicaraguan government to correct it. “Our country will follow legitimate international litigation and safeguard our diplomatic property, and Nicaragua will surely make Nicaragua bear the responsibility for internationally wrongful acts.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed that the Republic of China is sovereign and independent, and that it is not affiliated with the totalitarian CCP. The Chinese Communist Party has never ruled Taiwan for a day, and the diplomatic property of the two parties is not inherited.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “The relevant Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of my country declared that Nicaragua’s confiscation of our country’s assets was a “just act” and falsely claimed to have the ownership of our country’s property.” This is a blatant and express act of robbery that violates international law, and the clear intention to annex Taiwan has seriously violated international norms. , Undermining regional peace and stability.
Finally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized once again that “the totalitarian government of the Chinese Communist Party and the Daniel Ortega dictatorship at this time arbitrarily and illegally seized and seized the property that our country had sold to the Catholic Church in Nicaragua, which was controlled by the rules-based international legal order. Intolerance, it will be cast aside by the civilized international community.”
