In a bold statement on Monday, a spokesperson for the Chinese Mission to the EU voiced strong opposition to a visit by certain European Parliament members to the Taiwan region. The spokesperson stressed that the move seriously violates the one-China principle and interferes in China’s internal affairs.
According to the statement, China has lodged solemn representations with the European side over the matter. The spokesperson highlighted that the Taiwan question is central to China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, standing as one of its core interests.
Emphasizing that the one-China principle is a fundamental norm in international relations, the spokesperson warned that any official interaction with the Taiwan authorities is unacceptable. The message was clear: the European Parliament must correct its misstep and avoid sending signals to those promoting "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.
This firm stance serves as a reminder that issues concerning the Taiwan region remain an internal affair for China—setting a red line that should not be crossed. 😮
