Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mao Ning said at a regular press conference on the 11th that the Chinese side has made serious negotiations with Italy and the European side about “Taiwan independence” politicians going to Italy to attend relevant meetings. The DPP administration and individual politicians are bursting with empty thoughts and are “relying on foreign countries to seek independence” under the guise of “democracy” and “freedom.” This kind of behavior is disgusting and ultimately futile. Mao Ning said that there is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. China has always resolutely opposed any form of official exchange between countries that have established diplomatic relations with Taiwan. The one-China principle is a generally recognized standard for international relations and the general consensus of the international community. It is also the political foundation for Sino-Italian relations and Sino-European relations. We urge the parties concerned to strictly abide by the one-China principle through practical actions.
