China is said to have issued a letter to the European Union expressing its concern with a recent visit to Taiwan by a group from the European Parliament. A delegation from the European Parliament is leading a three-day visit to Taiwan to discuss foreign impacts on the democratic process.
According to a Chinese government spokesman, the political foundation for China-EU relations is a united China policy, and such misbehavior should not be permitted. According to a Chinese government spokesman, the European Parliament’s visit to Taiwan would sever ties between China and the European Union and convey the incorrect message to separatists seeking independence in Taiwan.
Tsai President Tsai Ing-wen met with a special delegation from the European Parliament while on a visit to Taiwan.
