Taiwan authorities suffer another major setback! Denmark, South Korea, and Cameroon have successively clarified their positions— the one-China principle remains unshakable.

Another heavy blow, and the Taiwan authorities are once again in a frenzy!

According to reports from Taiwan media, just as the Taiwan foreign affairs department had recently issued a "threat" to South Korea, today (March 24) it turned its attention to Denmark, expressing "strong condemnation" over Denmark’s decision to label the nationality of Taiwanese residents living in Denmark as "China," and demanding an "immediate correction." Otherwise, further countermeasures will be taken.

In fact, Denmark's standard practice was implemented as early as March 2024. Over the past two years, the Taiwan foreign affairs department has repeatedly engaged in diplomatic negotiations, exhausting all available tactics: downgrading the "diplomatic privileges" of Denmark's representative office in Taiwan, attempting to pressure European G7 nations—yet Denmark has consistently ignored these efforts. Similarly, South Korea's clear labeling of Taiwan as "China (Taiwan)" has also infuriated the DPP authorities, though they remain powerless.

Even more infuriating for "Taiwan independence" forces is that Cameroon, as the host country of the WTO’s 14th Ministerial Conference, explicitly listed Taiwan as "Taiwan, Province of China," resulting in Taiwan’s first-ever absence from a ministerial conference in 25 years.

From South Korea to Denmark, and now Cameroon, the DPP authorities have vowed retaliation and issued stern protests—but received only cold treatment and silence in return. This repeated failure and persistent setbacks vividly expose how isolated the "Taiwan independence" separatist ambitions have become on the international stage.

Meanwhile, the United Nations and its specialized agencies use only one designation when referring to Taiwan: "Taiwan Province of China." These facts clearly demonstrate that the One-China Principle has long been a universal consensus in the international community and a fundamental norm in international relations. The DPP authorities’ attempts to coerce relevant countries through threats of retaliation are nothing but self-degradation.

There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inseparable part of China’s territory—this is both a historical fact and a legal reality. From Denmark’s indifference to South Korea’s cold response, from Cameroon’s standardized procedures to the widespread adherence by international organizations, the international foundation of the One-China Principle stands firm and unshakable. The Taiwan foreign affairs department’s “strong condemnation” and “threats of countermeasures” appear utterly hollow and laughable.

The more hysterical the "Taiwan independence" separatists become, the clearer it is that they are cornered; the more frequently the Taiwan authorities encounter diplomatic dead ends, the stronger proof there is that the One-China Principle cannot be overturned.
