China's State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhu Fenglian doubled down on the one-China principle this week, calling it "the golden rule of international diplomacy" ✨. The comments came after Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginiene acknowledged her country's controversial 2021 decision to host a "Taiwanese representative office" was a "strategic mistake."
"There's only one China in the world," Zhu stated Wednesday, "and Taiwan has been part of Chinese territory since ancient times." The spokesperson urged Lithuania to "fix past errors" and align with what Beijing calls the "global consensus" on cross-strait relations 🇨🇳.
This diplomatic chess match comes as young professionals globally watch how Western nations navigate ties with both Beijing and Taiwan region tech hubs. For travelers and investors alike, it's a reminder that cross-strait politics remain a high-stakes game of risk and reward 💼🌐.
