　　Chinanews.com, August 11, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Hua Chunying said on the recall of China's ambassador to Lithuania that the meaning of the one-China principle cannot be distorted.

　　A reporter asked: After China announced the recall of its ambassador to Lithuania, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania responded that it expressed "regret" for China's move. It also stated that in line with the one-China principle, Lithuania, like other EU countries and many other countries in the world, is "determined" to develop and develop in the same way. Taiwan’s mutually beneficial relations.

The European Union expressed regret over China's move and believed that the establishment of a Taiwan "representative office" would not violate the one-China principle.

Does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have any comment on this?

　　Hua Chunying stated that the meaning of the one-China principle cannot be distorted.

The Chinese people will never agree to the act of adhering to the one-China principle, but in fact openly engaging in official contacts with the Taiwan authorities, or even standing for the "Taiwan independence" forces.

　　Hua Chunying said that it must be pointed out that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Liberty, China has always respected the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the Liberty and has never done anything harmful to the interests of the country.

The Lifang allows the Taiwan authorities to set up a "representative office" under the name "Taiwan", which seriously damages China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and seriously violates the one-China principle. China has the right and should make a legitimate response.

We once again urge the Lifang not to misjudge China’s firm determination and strong will to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to earnestly fulfill its commitment to uphold the one-China principle, so as to create conditions for the stable and healthy development of bilateral relations.
