Any attempt to create 'two Chinas' or 'one China, one Taiwan' will not succeed: FM spokesperson

(ECNS) -- The attempt to create “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan” will not succeed, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Tuesday at a press conference.

Mao made the remarks following Fiji's move of renaming Taiwan's representative office as the Trade Mission of the Republic of China (Taiwan), upgrading it from the previous name of Taipei Trade Office. 

The spokesperson noted that there is but one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory, adding that the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal Government representing the whole of China, which is a prevailing consensus of the international community and a universally recognized norm governing international relations.
