China urges India to handle Taiwan-related issues prudently, properly: spokeswoman

A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman on Thursday (Oct. 17) urged India to handle issues related to the Taiwan region in a prudent and proper manner and refrain from making any form of official interactions with the region.

Spokeswoman Mao Ning made the remarks at a daily press briefing in response to a query about the reports that Taiwan has announced the official operation of its new office in Mumbai, India.

"There is but one China in the world and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. China strongly opposes all forms of official contact and interaction between Taiwan and countries having diplomatic relations with China, including the establishment of representative offices for each other. We have lodged solemn representations to the Indian side. The one-China principle is a serious political commitment made by the Indian side and serves as the political foundation for China-India relations. China urges the Indian side to strictly abide by the commitments it has made, prudently and properly settle the Taiwan-related issues, not to conduct any form of official interaction with Taiwan and avoid disturbing the process to improve the China-India relationship," she said.
