The Taiwan Affairs Office responds to disputes related to Taiwan's participation in WTO activities: they must be handled in accordance with the One China principle.

The State Council Taiwan Affairs Office held a routine press conference. A journalist asked: Mainland China emphasizes the One China principle as a political prerequisite for Taiwan's participation in World Trade Organization activities. Taiwan's foreign affairs department stated that Taiwan joined the WTO in the name of "specific tariff areas" and that there is no unilateral assertion from China. What is your response to this? Spokesperson Zhang Han stated that our position on the participation of China's Taiwan region in international organizations has always been consistent and clear, which is that it must be handled according to the One China principle, and the World Trade Organization is no exception. The ruling Democratic Progressive Party continues to spread the fallacy of "Taiwan independence" and uses crude methods to stage a farce on the WTO platform. This will not change the fact that Taiwan is part of China, nor will it shake the international community's adherence to the One China principle. Their actions can be described as a mantis trying to stop a carriage, overreaching themselves.
