Regarding a German Defense Ministry official's remarks today on the Taiwan question, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Friday at a regular press conference in Beijing that the one-China principle is a basic norm in international relations and prevailing international consensus. The Taiwan question is not about freedom of navigation but about China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

It is reported that a German Defense Ministry official today said ships from the country transiting through the Taiwan Strait were not directed to anyone, and they are, in fact, supporting the international principle of freedom of navigation.

"We respect countries' right to navigation in relevant waters in accordance with China's laws and international law, including UNCLOS. But we firmly oppose any act of provocation under the pretext of freedom of navigation that harms China's sovereignty and security." Mao said. (By Ma Ziqian/China Youth Daily)
