The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds to the visit of Fiji officials to Taiwan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: China has made solemn representations to Fiji.

On November 6th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning presided over a routine press conference. A Reuters reporter asked: the US State Department stated on Wednesday that Taiwan should be allowed to participate in next year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting "on an equal footing." What is China's response to this? The second question was about a senior Fijian diplomat visiting Taiwan this week and meeting with senior officials from Taiwan. Considering that Fiji is a diplomatic ally of China, this visit is highly unusual. What is China's response to this? In response, Mao Ning stated: "Firstly, regarding your first question, as the host of APEC in 2026, China will actively fulfill its obligations as host to ensure the smooth participation of all parties. Regarding the issue of Chinese Taipei's participation in APEC, I have already clearly stated China's position on this." Regarding the second question, Mao Ning emphasized that China consistently opposes any form of official exchanges between diplomatic allies and Chinese Taipei. The visit of the Fijian officials to Taiwan severely violates Fiji's political commitment to the One China principle, and China strongly expresses its dissatisfaction with this. China has made strong representations to Fiji, and the despicable actions of the Taiwan authorities will not succeed.
