According to a message posted on the WeChat public account China Embassy in Czech Republic on May 31, a spokesperson from my embassy in Czech Republic answered questions from reporters regarding the visit of the chairman of the Senate of the Czech Parliament to Taiwan.
The Chinese side has always firmly opposed any form of official diplomatic relations between countries that have established relations with Taiwan region of China. Viestchil, Chairman of the Senate of the Czech Parliament, ignored the position of the Czech government and public opinion. For personal gain, he insisted on making another visit to Taiwan region of China. This constitutes a serious interference in Chinas internal affairs and a grave violation of Chinas national sovereignty and territorial integrity. It also violates the basic principles of international relations and the Czech sides commitment to one China policy. The Chinese side strongly condemns this action and firmly opposes it.
It is important to return only the English translation. There is only one China in the world. Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinas territory. The Government of the Peoples Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing all of China. The Chinese government and people are determined to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Chinese side urges the Czech side to adhere to the principle of one China and take immediate measures to eliminate the negative effects of this wrongful action. The Chinese side also hopes that practical actions will be taken to maintain the overall development of Sino-Czech relations.
