Statement on Antigua and Barbuda Support for the ‘One China’ Policy
14th January 2024:
The Government of Antigua and Barbuda, from the time of independence in 1981 has always supported the ‘One China policy’ and has never shifted allegiance to the Peoples Republic of China.
Following the recent elections held in Taiwan, Antigua and Barbuda reaffirms its long-standing support for and commitment to the “One China Policy” which is a universal consensus of the international community, that there is but one China in the world and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, and the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China.
The outcome of the elections held in the Province of Taiwan should not alter the dynamic process and future direction of cross-strait relations.
Antigua and Barbuda reaffirm its commitment to the non-interference in internal affairs of sovereign states as an important principle enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and a basic norm governing international relations. We further adhere to the General Assembly Resolution 2758 of 1971 that recognize the People’s Republic of China as the only legitimate representatives of China to the United Nations.
As a true friend and development partner Antigua and Barbuda supports the efforts of the People’s Republic of China toward ‘national reunification based on the ‘One-China Policy’ and remains steadfast to maintaining good relations and positive engagement for the mutual benefits of our two countries.

There are two reasons why we are playing the stooge role; (1), we are heavily indebted to the Chinese, (2) it would be hypocritical not to offer full support when the policies that Communist China abhor towards Taiwan are in sync with what we are imposing on Barbuda.
You mean like the rest of the world is indebted to China? How much of US debt does China hold? Educate yourself.
The difference: the US is never going to pay its debt to China. Take a look at all of the US military bases surrounding China — do you think that’s by accident?
I don’t know where you live or your nationality but I am confined to this place and that’s all I’m concerned about so if you find solace in knowing that China is owed by the likes of the USA,then that’s our problem because there are tens of thousands of you out there.
If China wants to Colonized us with trinkets bring it and come, bring it on.Antigua is a Colony of China.
And the opposite is that you want to be colonized by someone else? You don’t have the financial means.
How long before Chinese war ships are in St John. I thought Antigua and Barbuda want independence not communism? Your government is taking you in the wrong direction and your freedom will be compromised!!
The GOAB can not be honest even, in its issuance of a foriegn policy statement.
It is NOT a universal consensus of the international community. The US as well as many other NATO nations support the Taiwan position of staying free of China; just like Barbuda want to be free of you and your CREATIVE ENRICHMENT BAND OF GERIACTRIC INCOMPETENTS.
God knows we have our faults in Barbuda, and there are many. But Barbudans are enlighted, even though we are called names; we are deprived of our rights.
NEVER AGAIN!!! will we vote for THE CREATIVE ENRICHEMENT BAND who are angling to steal our land; while are denied basic universal rights, such an an “English Teacher’.
With all this universal concensus why is Taiwan not a member of the UN? Just more universal hypocrisy.
I have said it before and I will say it again as a born and bred Antiguan who has never set foot on Barbuda. To the people of Barbuda: never, ever forget the way in which our ‘ Marvelous’ leader once referred to Barbudans and which shows the contempt in which he holds Barbudans. Reminder to those who might have forgotten. You are “deracinated imbeciles”. One cannot be more condescending and contemptuous of others than in that utteranc. Never forget.
Antigua and Barbuda should have just stayed out of this one.
It’s been a minute, China. Leave Taiwan be
Why is the PM making this statement???? This does not concern us and the international community has not formed a “consensus”. Why should Taiwan not be independent of China? We gained independence from Britain, why does he support the “colonization” of the free people of Taiwan?
Can the Antiguan Government get a Chinese Billionaire, to buy the Alfa Nero?

Your Porkston Browne thanks you again for voting her in and she hopes you vote her in for another five years. She gave you a “free” concert thanks to the tax payers generous contributions. She will give you even more “free” and better concerts since she now has more funds at her disposal all thanks to the increased tax she just passed. Don’t worry about the huge pot holes in our roads or our water issues, those are not as important as the free concerts we are getting. With more tax hikes down the road, those will all be taken care of.
Porkston Browne knows we need to make Friars Hill Road look better and that’s why $400k was well spent to add royal palm trees along the road. To mitigate the issue of the royal palms causing any issues with the high tension electrical wires above them, she is spending Antigua’s tax dollars wisely to now bury the wires below ground. To help keep the economy stimulated, she is now paying the company to relocate the wires which is the reason she didn’t have the company do so in the 1st place. The Minister of Finance knows exactly what she’s doing and what’s best for our country.
Porkston Browne has now taken important agricultural lands at Dunbars and made it for housing. She knows what the people need and has their best interest at heart. Even a bank and a well known Middle Easterner are already in the process of owning some of those same lands if they don’t already own them. Another example of her looking into the future of our country. Don’t worry about the current building that houses the Ministry of Agriculture, that will be addressed in the very near future along with the St. John’s Police Station. She knows we no longer have to depend on local agriculture because her good solid Chinese friends will take are of her and our nation.
Porkston Browne continues to thank everyone who voted her in so she can continue to practice her creative self-enrichment scheme. When the going gets tough, she also gets going. A great example of that is her padding her constituency to make sure she won. She is so proud of that accomplishment she even publicly stated it. We need to follow her example to go and get what we want.
Porkston Browne thanks to all who voted for her and the confidence they had in her to better herself. She is from an area that’s known to be struggling and has now amassed quite the fortune. Now she can live very comfortably when she is done with politics. She has proven that anyone with the fortitude and drive can rise above where they are from and become someone big. Whatever it takes and by any means we all can do the same as she did.
To show her gratitude, she hands out well needed gifts when Christmas rolls around every year. As long as you keep voting her in, she will continue showering you with these gifts.
Your Porkson Browne thanks each and every one of you. Here’s to another five years of Porkston Browne. Your vote counts. Make it count well.
Why did Antigua made a statement? Is Antigua’s Government the only one in the Caribbean that has a good relationship with China.These days we want to be first in all things, good, indifferent or bad.
In reality the statement Antigua and Barbuda supports a “one China” policy is not exactly true. Highly unlikely that a vast majority of the Antigua/Barbuda population support China wanting to control Taiwan and ultimately the whole world. The one China policy is not a universal consensus. China is an all about themselves communist plunderer that will decimate the world and its’ oceans if not controlled.
