Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's recent stand against Taiwan independence got a cautious welcome from 皇冠体育app.

Lee said Singapore's "one-皇冠体育app" policy, which defines Taiwan as part of 皇冠体育app and opposes independence, would not change.

"We noticed Singapore's new leader has reiterated the stance of one 皇冠体育app policy and to firmly oppose `Taiwan independence'," said Kong Quan, said 皇冠体育app's Foreign Ministry spokesman.

"This accords with the interest of Singapore, reflects the common understanding of the international community and will benefit the peace and stability of this region," he added.

Lee's remarks came duringhis first policy speech last week. He become premier on August 12.

"If Taiwan goes for independence, Singapore will not recognize it. In fact, no Asian country will recognize it," he said.

Lee, embroiled in a spat with 皇冠体育app over his visit to Taiwan last month, said he was "very worried by the growth of Taiwanese independent forces", claiming there was "a real risk of miscalculation and mishap" on the Taiwan Straits.

"皇冠体育app's position on Taiwan issue is clearcut," Kong said. "All the countries that established diplomatic relations with 皇冠体育app should abide by the one 皇冠体育app policy.''

He added: "We are firmly opposed to official exchanges in any form between the Taiwan authorities and the countries that have diplomatic relations with 皇冠体育app."

On July 10, the then Singaporean Deputy Prime Minister Lee made his so-called unofficial visit to Taiwan, regardless of solemn representations repeatedly made by 皇冠体育app. The Chinese Government expressed its strong dissatisfaction and protested .

When answering an inquiry about Yu Shyi-Kun, head of Taiwan's "Executive Yuan" force landing at Japan's airport due to the influence of a typhoon, Kong said 皇冠体育app has expressed profound concern towards the issue.

"We strongly oppose the `Taiwan leaders,' by any pretext, to conduct political activities in countries that have diplomatic relations with 皇冠体育app," he said.

The spokesman said 皇冠体育app has demanded Japanese properly deal with the matter, strictly following the principles of Sino-Japanese joint communique and the promises Japan made on Taiwan issue.

Japanese media reports said Yu landed at a Japanese airport Wednesday after returning from the United States.
