On Thursday evening, Department of Asian Affairs Director-General Liu Jinsong met with South Korean Embassy Minister Kang Sang-wook to emphasize China’s position on Taiwan and encourage South Korea to adhere to the “One-China” concept, the ministry said.
President Yoon Suk Yeol and President Joe Biden discussed China-Taiwan tensions and Chinese military activity in the South China Sea during his six-day visit to the US.
