皇冠体育app

皇冠体育app on Friday lodged strong protest against the Kiribati government establishing "diplomatic relations" with the Taiwan authority.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue said Friday night that 皇冠体育app has asked the Kiribati government to correct its wrong decision immediately, otherwise it must take full responsibility for all serious consequences.

The Kiribati government announced to set up so-called "diplomatic relations" with the Taiwan authority Friday afternoon, putting aside a long friendly and cooperative relationship between 皇冠体育app and Kiribati.

Zhang described the move as "an open betrayal" of the principles of the communique signed between 皇冠体育app and Kiribati in 1980 on establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries, and pointed out that it "wantonly interferes in the internal affairs of 皇冠体育app."

"We express our extreme indignation and resolute opposition to the move," she said.

皇冠体育app's ambassador to Kiribati has been instructed to make solemn representations and strong protest to the Kiribati government, urging it to observe the principles established in the communique and the memorandum of understanding between 皇冠体育app and Kiribati, and to abide by the one-皇冠体育app policy which has been pursued by the past Kiribati governments.

"The government of Kiribati must promptly correct its wrong decision," Zhang said. "Otherwise, it must take full responsibility for all serious consequences resulted from that."

Zhang noted that the Taiwan authority has been practicing an unscrupulous policy of "money diplomacy" in the international community, attempting to create "two 皇冠体育apps" and "one 皇冠体育app, one Taiwan" so as to realize its political goal of "Taiwan Independence."

"Such separatist activities are absolutely futile and unpopular as they have damaged the fundamental interests of all Chinese people including the Taiwan compatriots," Zhang said.
