On November 12, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a routine press conference. A reporter asked: The mainland has stated that it will handle Taiwan's participation in APEC in accordance with the principle of one China and the provisions and practices of the APEC Memorandum of Understanding. In response, the Democratic Progressive Party authority stated, "The mainland's actions seriously violate APEC norms and practices, and we will coordinate with like-minded countries to counter this." What is your comment on this? Spokesperson Chen Binhua stated that our position on the issue of Taiwan's participation in APEC-related activities in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation remains consistent and clear. Taiwan's participation in APEC activities under the principle of one China, using the name "Chinese Taipei" and the status of a regional economy, is based on the political premise of Taiwan's participation in APEC activities. The Democratic Progressive Party authority's attempts to distort facts and create unnecessary hype are completely futile.
