Taiwan's foreign ministry has pushed back against Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's remarks that Taiwan is a part of China. Ibrahim made the comments in an interview with Al Jazeera earlier this week. When asked if he would condone China retaking Taiwan by force, Anwar used a hypothetical situation in Malaysia, saying he would support the use of force for unification of a breakway territory. The foreign ministry says that showing too much support for China could affect Taiwanese business interests in Malaysia.
