The Chinese government on Tuesday expressed indignation and opposition to the resumption of "diplomatic relations" between St. Lucia and Taiwan.

It also constituted interference in the internal affairs of 皇冠体育app, Liu said.

He said the embassy of 皇冠体育app in St. Lucia had already lodged a strong protest to the government of St. Lucia.

He said the government had instructed the embassy to request the St. Lucian government live up to the principle of the declaration that the two countries issued on the establishment of diplomatic links in 1997.

It also instructed the embassy to request St. Lucia return to the rightful stance of recognizing one-皇冠体育app.

"Otherwise, the government of St. Lucia will be responsible for the consequences incurred," Liu said.
