Chinese Foreign Ministry

Taiwan is MKS sportsa province of China, and there is no such thing as a "president" or a "foreign ministry" of the Taiwan region, a Chinese FM spokesperson said on Thursday, in response to a question about the so-called "foreign minister" of Taiwan, Lin Chia-lung, attending the inauguration ceremony of the President of Palau as a so-called "presidential envoy" from January 15 to 18.

There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inseparable part of it. The one-China principle is a fundamental norm of international relations and a common consensus of the international community. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities' attempts to seek "independence" and split the country by relying on foreign support are ultimately futile, the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson added that while the DPP authorities are busy "solidifying alliances," friendly individuals from countries such as Tuvalu, Palau, and the Marshall Islands have repeatedly expressed their willingness to establish or restore normal diplomatic relations with China. 

The establishment or restoration of diplomatic relations between China and these countries is an inevitable trend that reflects the will of the people, the spokesperson said, noting that I would like to reiterate that regardless of the order, China is willing to open a new chapter in the development of relations with these countries based on the one-China principle.
