Lithuania wants my representative office to remove the word "Taiwan"? Chen Mingqi: Fake news will hurt relations between Taiwan and Taiwan

Foreign media reported that Lithuania requested Taiwan to remove the word "Taiwan" from the name of its representative office in Lithuania. In this regard, Deputy Foreign Minister Chen Ming-chi said in an interview at the Legislative Yuan today that he has no comment on external rumors, especially some inferences based on false news, which will hurt the interaction and bilateral relations between Taiwan and Taiwan. "What the media reports may not always be true."

Chen Mingqi said that Taiwan and Lithuania are mutually beneficial and deepen bilateral relations based on shared values. The original name was also based on the decision to deepen bilateral relations. There are currently no plans to change the name. Lithuania also explained that their interaction with China does not need to be at the expense of Taiwan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that this position is correct.

Regarding the candidates for APEC leadership representatives, Chen Mingqi said that it is customary for the Presidential Office to announce the selection, and the Presidential Office will announce it to the public at the appropriate time. Regarding the form of invitation, the form of bilateral invitation will not be disclosed to the public based on tacit understanding.

Chen Mingqi said that we are full members of APEC, all rights must be respected, and participation is also our right. China also made a commitment when it was supposed to be the host country. We will ask for corrections in all things that deviate from commitments and practices, and we continue to do these things. He emphasized that we are full members of APEC and have the right to participate in all APEC activities while respecting equality.

In addition, Huida CEO Huang Renxun admitted that he had an extramarital affair because the person was suspected to be a Chinese female spy Huang Le, and the two met in Taiwan many times, which raised national security concerns. Chen Mingqi said that this incident once again illustrates the importance of economic security in global economic layout and high-tech development, and the government has always attached great importance to it. The entry method for the relevant person is to comply with relevant regulations. We will not disclose the identity he uses to enter the country, but the government has taken precautions. Compliant people, especially those who have no criminal record in Taiwan, basically do not have too many unnecessary restrictions on their access and interactions with people, except for necessary national security considerations.

The media asked, do you think she is a spy? Chen Mingqi said: "I have no evidence on hand, and I have no power to investigate."
