When asked about Taiwan politicians Hsiao Bi-khim and Lin Chia-lung's attendance at the "Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China" annual meeting held in the European Parliament in Brussels, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Monday that China has lodged solemn representations with the European Parliament regarding the "Taiwan independent" separatist politicians engaging in activities there.

The European side stated that the European Parliament's adherence to the one-China principle has not and will not change. The meeting and the individuals concerned were not invited by the European Parliament, the leadership of the Parliament had no contact with them, and the individual actions of a few lawmakers do not represent the official position of the European Parliament, Lin said.

Lin stressed that the so-called "Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China" is funded by several anti-China organizations and has long maliciously hyped China-related issues. It serves as a tool for the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities to seek foreign support and has no credibility whatsoever. The collusion between "Taiwan independent" separatist politicians and this organization is nothing but a self-directed political farce to gain attention, which will never succeed, Lin added.

I want to reiterate that no matter how the DPP authorities and separatist forces agitating for "Taiwan independence" make trouble or play petty tricks, and no matter how hard they try to solicit foreign support, their shameful scheme of pursuing separatist activities will only expose itself further. Nothing can stop the overriding historical trend toward China's reunification, Lin said, calling on the European Parliament to see through the truth, distinguish right from wrong, firmly adhere to the one-China principle, refrain from sending any wrong signals to "Taiwan independence" secession forces, and avoid being exploited.
