On October 22, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked: The Philippines says it is seeking deeper cooperation with Taiwan to protect sea cables and resolve so-called grey zone activities. Despite the Philippines adhering to the “one China policy,” how did the Chinese side respond? Does the Chinese side believe that such cooperation violates the one-China principle? In response, Mao Ning said that there is no grey area on the Taiwan issue, and the Philippines should strictly abide by the one-China principle through practical actions. Foreign exchanges in Taiwan should be handled in strict accordance with the one-China principle.
