Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning

There is but one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. China firmly opposes official interactions of any form between China's Taiwan region and countries having diplomatic ties with China. The one-China principle is a well-recognized norm in international relations and a prevailing international consensus. It is also the political foundation for China-Germany relations, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular press conference on Monday, in response to a German journalist's question for comment on that a multiparty delegation of lawmakers from Germany is about to visit the Taiwan region, with one representative reportedly describing Taiwan as an "important partner of Germany," and that the delegation would also meet with Lai Ching-te.

We urge certain people from Germany to abide by the one-China principle, and stop sending wrong messages to "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. The DPP authorities' attempt to solicit external support for their "independence" agenda will surely end in failure, Mao said.
