The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council holds a routine press conference. A reporter asked: From March 2024, Denmark will change the "nationality" of Taiwanese residents living in Denmark from "residence permit nationality" to "China", and Taiwan's foreign affairs department expressed dissatisfaction. In response, spokesperson Chen Binhua said that the One China principle is the basic norm of international relations and a consensus of the international community. It is the general trend of the world. No matter how the Democratic Progressive Party authorities plot and scheme, they cannot change the fact that Taiwan is part of China, and they cannot shake the basic framework of the international community's adherence to the One China principle.
