The Chinese embassy has accused London of supporting separatist forces in Taiwan and violating the “one China principle”. The message was published on the consulate’s website.
A representative of the Chinese embassy was asked to comment on a meeting between Tom Tugendhat, Minister of State for Security at the British Home Office, and Audrey Tan, head of the “Ministry of Digital Affairs” of the Taiwan region. The diplomat said it was a gross violation of international norms by London.
“The British side has allowed a certain person from the Taiwan region to visit the UK and arranged a meeting between the concerned official and the said person. This move seriously violates the principle of one China and the basic norms of international relations,” the Chinese embassy said in a statement.
The statement also pointed out that Taiwan is an integral part of China’s territory and the Taiwan issue is solely an internal PRC affair. The “one-China principle” is the “recognised basic norm of international relations and the universal consensus” of the international community, the Chinese consul said.
