Taiwan says it will follow 'humanitarian principles' in treating asylum seekers from Hong Kong, prompting China's foreign ministry to accuse Taiwan of fake benevolence.
In this photo released by the Taiwan Presidential Office, Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen arrives in St. Lucia on Thursday, July 18, 2019. Tsai said she would follow "humanitarian principles" in dealing with asylum seekers from Hong Kong during a visit this week to Saint Lucia, an eastern Caribbean island nation that is among Taiwan's few remaining allies.
Tsai made the comments after Radio Free Asia reported that more than a dozen protesters from Hong Kong have fled to Taiwan.“We advise some people on the island not to jump out at this moment pretending to compassionate,” spokesman Geng Shuang said at a regular briefing. “They themselves are no more than clay Buddhas.” The moniker is an apparent reference to an old Chinese saying: When a clay Buddha attempts to cross a river, it can barely protect itself, let alone others.
