After mocking China by putting up large posters of Taiwan's National Day outside China's embassy complex in New Delhi, BJP leader Tajindar Pal Singh Bagga has again taken a swipe at India's expansionist communist neighbour over its so-called 'One China' policy.

Spokesperson of Chinese Embassy in India Ji Rong opposed move of Bagga putting up posters of Taiwan National Day, by stating that any individual trying to create 'two Chinas' or 'One China, one Taiwan' violates Indian Government's position. In response to Rong's tweet, Bagga poked Chinese Embassy spokesperson by saying that as an Indian he stands with 'one China', 'one Taiwan', 'one Tibet', 'one Hong Kong', 'one Xinjiang'.
