According to the WeChat official account "Chinese Embassy in the Philippines" on the 29th, a press spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines answered questions from reporters regarding the remarks made by the Philippine Navy spokesman about the Taiwan issue.
Question: It was reported that the Philippine Navy spokesman Trinidad stated that the Philippine military is negotiating "international cooperation" with the Taiwan authorities and is only one step away from joint exercises. What is China's response?
Answer: Taiwan is a province of China and an inseparable part of China's territory. The Taiwan issue is at the core of China's core interests. The One-China principle is a universal consensus in the international community and also the political foundation of Sino-Philippine relations. China firmly opposes any form of official exchanges between its diplomatic relations and the Taiwan region. We urge the Philippine side to abide by the One-China principle, stop any form of 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.
