Beijing asks New Delhi to reiterate ‘one China’ policy

NEW DELHI

“We hope that the Indian side could openly reiterate its ‘one China’ policy like many other countries,” Mr Sun Weidong, China’s Ambassador to India, said in a post on the embassy’s website.

“The ‘one China’ principle is the political foundation of China-India relations,” he said in a summary of his comments at a briefing in New Delhi on Saturday.

More than 170 countries and international organisations have reaffirmed their commitment to the principle, he said.

The defeated Republic of China government fled to Taiwan in 1949 after losing a civil war to Mao Zedong’s Communist Party, which established the People’s Republic of China in Beijing.
