Spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the UK, speaking out solemnly! Taiwan | China | Spokesperson
On July 26th local time, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in the UK answered questions from reporters regarding the strengthening of trade partnership between the UK and Taiwan.
A reporter asked: The British government announced that the British side will co-chair the 26th "UK-Taiwan Economic and Trade Dialogue" with Taiwan at the end of this year, and will start discussions on the "strengthening of trade partnership" between Britain and Taiwan in due course. What is the comment of the Chinese Embassy in the UK?
The spokesman of the Chinese Embassy in Britain said that China has always firmly opposed any form of official exchanges between countries that have established diplomatic relations and Taiwan, China.
The One China principle is the political foundation and important prerequisite for the establishment and development of diplomatic relations between China and the UK, and is an insurmountable red line. We urge the UK to stop enhancing substantive relations between the UK and Taiwan under the guise of strengthening trade relations, and to stop any actions that violate the One China principle. Any actions that harm China's interests will inevitably face strong retaliation from the Chinese side.
