The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: Recently, Taiwan's foreign affairs department head Lin Jialong said that Taiwan will set up an office in Cebu, the Philippines, raising questions about this. Any comments on this please? Spokesman Zhu Fenglian said that the relevant departments have already expressed a strict position on this. We are resolutely opposed to any form of official exchange between countries that have established diplomatic relations with Taiwan. The Philippines should strictly abide by the one-China principle and stop sending false signals to “Taiwan independence” separatist forces. The DPP administration's stubborn “reliance on foreign countries to seek independence” cannot change the fact that Taiwan is a part of China, cannot shake the international community's general consensus and basic pattern of adhering to one China; it will only end in failure.
