CCTV News:According to the WeChat WeChat official account of the China Embassy in South Korea, the spokesman of the China Embassy in South Korea expressed firm opposition and strong protest against the visit of Zheng Yuze, deputy speaker of the South Korean National Assembly, to Taiwan, China. The details are as follows.
I noticed that from 28th to 31st last month, the Deputy Speaker of the South Korean National Assembly, Zheng Yuze, and some members of parliament made a surprise visit to Taiwan, China to meet with Tsai Ing-Wen, You Xikun and others. This is a serious violation of the one-China principle and the spirit of the communique on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, and runs counter to the development of friendly relations between China and South Korea. China firmly opposes and strongly protests this.
Taiwan Province is an inalienable part of the territory of China, and the question of Taiwan Province is purely an internal affair of China. The one-China principle has become the consensus of the international community and the basic norm of international relations. The communique on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea clearly stated that "the Republic of Korea recognizes People’s Republic of China (PRC) as the sole legitimate government of China and respects China’s position that there is only one China and Taiwan Province is a part of China". This is a solemn commitment made by the ROK to China and the political basis for the establishment of diplomatic relations and the development of relations between China and South Korea. We resolutely oppose any form of official exchanges between South Korea and Taiwan Province.
The current situation in the Taiwan Strait is highly complex and sensitive. The ROK has repeatedly mentioned its concern for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. It should be pointed out that the biggest threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is the stubborn separatist activities of "Taiwan independence" forces such as Tsai Ing-Wen and You Xikun and the illegal connivance of some external forces. The Korean National Assembly plays an important role in the political and social life of Korea. The Deputy Speaker of the South Korean National Assembly should be aware of the South Korean government’s foreign commitments. His visit to Taiwan Province violated the South Korean commitment to China, sending a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" forces, damaging the friendly political foundation between China and South Korea, which is extremely dangerous and will have a serious impact on China-South Korea relations.
China has made solemn representations to the ROK, and seriously urged the ROK to recognize the harm of this incident, take timely measures to eliminate the adverse effects, earnestly abide by the one-China principle and the spirit of the communique on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, and refrain from conducting any form of official exchanges with Taiwan Province to safeguard the overall situation of China-ROK relations with practical actions.
