Taiwan hails 'largest democracy' India; blasts China for issuing diktat to Indian media

Chinese Embassy in New Delhi wrote an open letter to Indian media to not “recognise” Taiwan by covering “National Day of Taiwan”, triggering a strong response from self-governing island. In an unusual letter to Indian media, embassy said that People's Republic of China is only China in world and Taiwan is an inalienable part of its territory.

It stressed that se facts are recognised by UN resolution and constitute universal consensus of international community. 

“We hope Indian media can stick to Indian government's position on Taiwan question and do not violate One-China principle. In particular, Taiwan shall not be referred to as a ‘country(nation)’ or ‘Republic of China’ or leer of China’s Taiwan region as ‘President’, so as not to send wrong signals to general public,” letter re.

'GET LOST!'

Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs blasted China’s indirect threat to Indian media and said that India is largest democracy on Earth with a vibrant press and freedom-loving people. ministry wondered wher China is hoping to march into subcontinent by imposing censorship. It said that India media will have only one reply, “GET LOST!”

Beijing has become more assertive on reunification of Taiwan with China under “one country, two systems” which has threatened Taiwan’s claim of sovereignty. self-governing island republic considers itself as sovereign while China claims province as Beijing’s territory under its one-China policy and has been pushing to implement Hong Kong system in Taiwan. Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-Wen has frequently said that island wants dialogue with China but can not accept Beijing’s “one country, two systems” policy which undermines “cross-strait status quo.”
