Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated that the People’s Republic of China opposes any official exchanges between its diplomatic partners and Taiwan, emphasizing that Taiwan is an inseparable part of China. Mao urged German officials to adhere to the ‘One China’ principle and cease sending what she termed ‘false signals’ to pro-independence forces in Taiwan. The German government maintains a ‘One China’ policy, recognizing the People’s Republic as the sole representative of China while engaging in exchanges with Taiwan. The delegation, led by Till Steffen of the Green Party, aims to enhance cooperation with Taiwan and is scheduled to meet President Lai Ching-te, who is viewed by China as a separatist due to his party’s pro-independence stance.
