The Daily Maverick published on 4 August 2024 an article titled "Chinese Communist Party Claims Ramaphosa 'Assured that GNU's China Policy Will Not Change'" by Peter Fabricius.
Liu Jianchao, head of the International Department of the Chinese Communist Party, visited South Africa last week and was assured by President Cyril Ramaphosa that Pretoria would continue to support China's claim to Taiwan. South Africa's new coalition government now has partners, the Democratic Alliance and Inkatha Freedom Party, with less clear positions on Beijing's claim to Taiwan.
