Why It Matters
China views Taiwan as a breakaway province and has warned against any actions that challenge the one-China principle. New Zealand, like most countries, officially acknowledges the one-China principle but maintains unofficial relations with Taiwan.
新华社北京6月4日电(记者孙楠、吴梦桐)就新西兰有关议员窜台后中方对其采取禁止入境等措施,外交部发言人毛宁6月4日在例行记者会上表示,近期新西兰个别议员不顾中方的严重关切和坚决反对,执意窜访中国台湾地区,违反一个中国原则,干涉中国内政。根据中华人民共和国相关法律,中方决定对有关人员采取禁止入境等措施。一个中国原则是国际社会的普遍共识和国际关系基本准则,也是中新关系的政治基础。我们奉劝有关人员,切实尊重中国主权和领土完整,严格恪守一个中国原则,在台湾问题上踩线越界必将付出代价。
