On April 29, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines answered questions from reporters regarding the remarks made by the Philippine Navy spokesman on the Taiwan issue.
Question: It is reported that Trinidad, the Philippine Navy spokesman, said that the Philippine military was negotiating "international cooperation" with the Taiwan authorities and was only one step away from joint exercises. What is China's response?
Answer: Taiwan is a province of China and an inseparable part of Chinese territory. The Taiwan question is at the core of China's core interests. The One-China principle is a universal consensus of the international community and the political foundation of Sino-Philippine relations. China firmly opposes any official exchanges between its diplomatic relations countries and the Taiwan region. We urge the Philippine side to abide by the One-China principle, stop any official exchanges with the Taiwan authorities, and stop sending wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. We advise relevant personnel of the Philippine side not to provoke on the Taiwan issue; those who play with fire will surely get burned.
