On August 10, a spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Japan answered questions from reporters regarding the Taiwan region's so-called “representative in Japan” statement. Q: Taiwan's so-called “representative in Japan” claimed a few days ago that its “national status” and status have been deliberately dwarfed, which is regrettable and disappointing, and that they have put forward a “serious protest.” What comments does the speaker have on this? A: Taiwan is not a country; there is no such thing as a “national identity.” It only humiliates itself by not doing anything to gain a sense of presence. There is only one China in the world. Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the Government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China. This is the basic consensus of the international community. To add a little common sense, the UN's title for Taiwan is “Taiwan Province of China.”
