China views Taiwan as a rebel province that must be reunified with the mainland, even by force.
바카라First of all, there is no such thing as 바카라president바카라 of the Taiwan region,바카라 Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a media briefing here when asked by a Western media correspondent for her reaction to the wording in Modi바카라s message.
바카라As for your question, China opposes all forms of official interactions between the Taiwan authorities and countries having diplomatic relations with China. There is but one China in the world. Taiwan is an inalienable part of the territory of the People바카라s Republic of China,바카라 she said.
바카라The one-China principle is a universally recognised norm in international relations and a prevailing consensus in the international community,바카라 Mao said, adding, 바카라India has made serious political commitments on this and is supposed to recognise, be alarmed about and resist the Taiwan authorities바카라 political calculations. China has protested to India about this.바카라
Earlier on Wednesday, Modi's remarks came in response to a congratulatory message from Taiwan President Lai Ching-te on his election victory.
Lai, elected as Taiwan's President last month, in a message posted on X said: 바카라My sincere congratulations to Prime Minister @narendramodi on his election victory. We look forward to enhancing the fast-growing #Taiwan-#India partnership, expanding our collaboration on trade, technology & other sectors to contribute to peace & prosperity in the #IndoPacific.바카라
In his reply posted on X, Modi said: 바카라Thank you @ChingteLai for your warm message. I look forward to closer ties as we work towards mutually beneficial economic and technological partnership.바카라
Responding to another question, Mao said India 바카라has diplomatic relations with China. China opposes all forms of official interactions between the Taiwan authorities and countries having diplomatic relations with China. This position is very clear and India knows this well.바카라
"On the one-China principle, India has made serious political commitments and is supposed to recognise, be alarmed about and resist the Taiwan authorities바카라 political calculations, and refrain from doing things that violate the one-China principle," Mao reiterated.
Taiwan President Lai, in his inaugural address on May 20, had called on Beijing to cease its intimidation of the self-ruled island after his Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which has championed democracy in the face of years of growing threats from China, won.
Amid China's protest over the exchange of greetings between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te, the US State Department said such congratulatory messages between two foreign leaders are a part of diplomatic business.
바카라I would say that such congratulatory messages are the normal course of diplomatic business," State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters on Thursday at his daily news conference.
He was responding to a question on China protesting over Modi's comment that he looked forward to having closer ties with Taiwan after his victory in the just concluded Lok Sabha elections.
