Zheng Yuze, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of South Korea, and others visited the Chinese Embassy in South Korea in Taiwan to respond

　　China News Service, January 5th. According to the official WeChat account of the Chinese Embassy in South Korea on January 5th, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in South Korea expressed firm opposition and strong protest against the visit of South Korean National Assembly Deputy Speaker Zheng Yuze to Taiwan.

　　The spokesperson pointed out that from the 28th to the 31st of last month, the Deputy Speaker of the South Korean National Assembly, Zheng Yuze, and individual members visited Taiwan, China, and met with Tsai Ing-wen, You Xikun and others.

This seriously violates the one-China principle and the spirit of the communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, and runs counter to the development of friendly relations between China and South Korea.

China firmly opposes and strongly protests against this.

　　Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair. The one-China principle has become the consensus of the international community and the basic norm of international relations.

The communique on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea clearly stated that "the Republic of Korea recognizes the People's Republic of China as the sole legal government of China, and respects China's position that there is only one China and Taiwan is a part of China."

This is the solemn promise made by the South Korean side to the Chinese side, and it is also the political basis for the establishment of diplomatic relations and the development of relations between China and South Korea.

We firmly oppose any form of official exchanges between South Korea and Taiwan.

　　The current situation in Taiwan Strait is highly complex and sensitive.

The South Korean side has repeatedly mentioned its concern for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait region. It should be pointed out that the biggest threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait region is the stubborn separatist activities of Tsai Ing-wen, You Xikun and other "Taiwan independence" forces and the illegal connivance of some external forces.

The National Assembly of South Korea plays an important role in the political and social life of South Korea.

The deputy speaker of the South Korean National Assembly should be aware of the South Korean government's foreign commitments. His visit to Taiwan violated South Korea's commitment to China, sent a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" forces, and damaged the political foundation of China-South Korea friendship. It is extremely dangerous. Serious impact on China-South Korea relations.

　　The spokesperson said that China has lodged solemn representations with the South Korean side, and solemnly urges the South Korean side to recognize the harm of this incident, take timely measures to eliminate the bad influence, earnestly abide by the one-China principle and the spirit of the communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, and do not engage in any form of official exchanges, and maintain the overall situation of China-ROK relations with practical actions.
