There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inseparable part of it, said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at a press conference in Beijing on the sidelines of the first session of the 13th National People's Congress.
“This has been the consensus of the international community for decades,” Wang said.
Adhering to the one-China principle, and not having official ties with Taiwan, has become a generally observed norm in international relations. It is a correct choice in line with the tide of history, and necessary to establish diplomatic relations and carry out regular cooperation with the government of the People’s Republic of China, Wang said.
“This is the overriding trend and an unstoppable one,” Wang said.
Wang urged Taiwan authorities to return to the 1992 Consensus as soon as possible and to create a bright future for the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations.
