In response to media reports about planned visit of Germany's junior economy minister Udo Philipp to Taiwan island, FM spokesperson Lin Jian said on Tuesday that there is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inseparable part of Chinese territory. The one-China principle is a just standard for international relations and a universal consensus in the international community and it also serves as the political foundation of China-Germany relations.

Lin urged German side to adhere to the one-China principle, cease all forms of official interaction with Taiwan authorities, and stop sending wrong signals to "Taiwan independence" separatists.

Germany's junior economy minister Udo Philipp will go to Taiwan this week for talks with local officials and a visit to a TSMC chip factory, Reuters reported.
