US Responds Firmly As China Objects To Modi’s Interaction With Taiwan President

After China lodged a protest with India against PM Modi's response to the Taiwanese President's wishes on his June 4 election victory, the US stated that congratulatory messages between two foreign leaders are a part of diplomatic business.

The US State Department stated that exchanging congratulatory messages between two foreign leaders, such as Narendra Modi and Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te, is a part of diplomatic business amidst China’s protest over the greetings.

On Wednesday, Modi made his remarks in response to a congratulatory message from Taiwan President Lai Ching-te on his election victory.

In a message posted on X, Lai, who was elected as Taiwan’s President last month, said: ‘I extend my sincere congratulations to Prime Minister @narendramodi on his election victory. We anticipate enhancing the fast-growing #Taiwan-#India partnership, expanding our collaboration on trade, technology, and other sectors to contribute to peace and prosperity in the #IndoPacific.’

Modi posted his reply on X, stating: ‘Thank you @ChingteLai for your warm message. I eagerly anticipate closer ties as we work towards a mutually beneficial economic and technological partnership.’

Addressing a media briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning on Thursday objected to the exchange between the Indian and Taiwanese leaders, insisting that New Delhi should resist Taiwan authorities’ “political calculations”.

China views Taiwan as a rebel province that must be reunified with the mainland, even by force. Mao Ning stated that China opposes ‘all forms of official interactions between the Taiwan authorities and countries having diplomatic relations with China. There is but one China in the world. Taiwan is an inalienable part of the territory of the People’s Republic of China.’
