What happened

The Chinese Embassy in Israel would like to point out the factual errors we found in a recent Jerusalem Post article entitled “Lessons from Taiwan to win on the 8th Front” and clarify the facts.

Why it matters

The author refers to China’s Taiwan region as a “country” and describes the head of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Tel Aviv as an “ambassador.” This exposes his lack of understanding of history and facts, as well as his ignorance of Israel’s…

Common ground

It has never been a country, is not a country today, and never will be.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Name Calling / Labeling, Black-and-White Fallacy: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.

Claim 1: “The China-Israel Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations states that “the Government of the State of Israel recognizes that the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of the territory of the People’s Republic of China.””
SINGLE SOURCE
The specific wording of the China-Israel Joint Communiqué is mentioned in a report from the Chinese embassy in Israel. While general 'one-China' commitments are mentioned in other search results, the specific text of the Israel-China agreement is not independently verified by a neutral reference or official government archive in the provided evidence.

Claim 2: “Taiwan is a province of China.”
DISPUTED
The claim represents the official position of the PRC, which is cited by TASS and Al Jazeera. However, other sources (The Guardian, Deutsche Welle) clarify that this is a 'claim' by Beijing and note that China has never ruled Taiwan. Wikipedia identifies Taiwan as the Republic of China (ROC), a country in East Asia, contradicting the 'province' status.
