China on India Taiwan ties: China expressed disapproval to India on Thursday in response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s social media post expressing his desire for deeper ties with Taiwan, stating that New Delhi needs to oppose Taiwan authorities’ “political calculations.”
As a rebel province that needs to be brought back to the mainland, even by force, Taiwan is seen as such by China.
After Taiwan President Lai Ching-te congratulated Modi on winning the election, Modi made his comments.
Following his election as President of Taiwan last month, Lai expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister @narendramodi on X in a message.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning responded to the communications by stating that China has protested this to India.

According to Business Standard, she declared that Taiwan is an inalienable portion of the People’s Republic of China’s territory and that there is only one China in the world.
