China News Agency, Berlin, August 31. Prague News: On the 31st local time, Chinese Ambassador to the Czech Republic Zhang Jianmin lodged solemn representations with the Czech Vice Foreign Minister Trapa on the visit to Taiwan by the Chairman of the Senate of the Czech Parliament, Viestekir.
Zhang Jianmin emphasized that Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory.
China has always firmly opposed any form of official exchanges between countries with diplomatic ties with China's Taiwan region.
The one-China principle is the political foundation of Sino-Czech relations.
Regardless of China’s resolute opposition and solemn representations, Westchil led a delegation to the Taiwan region for so-called "visit" out of selfish interests, openly supported the separatist forces and activities of "Taiwan independence", seriously violated China’s sovereignty, and grossly interfered in China’s internal affairs. Seriously violated the bilateral political commitments between China and the Czech Republic and the basic norms of international relations.
China strongly condemns and firmly opposes this.
Zhang Jianmin pointed out that the determination of the Chinese government and people to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity is unwavering.
China will surely make the necessary response to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
China urges the Czech side to face up to China’s solemn position, fully understand the nature of Westerkir’s visit to Taiwan, take practical actions to abide by the one-China principle, eliminate the bad effects of Westerkir’s visit to Taiwan, and avoid harming the overall situation of bilateral relations between China and the Czech Republic.
