China Celebrates India’s ‘Return’ To One-China Policy; Taiwan, Delhi Sources Tell A Different Story | World News
New Delhi: Beijing claimed that India re -confirmed Taiwan as part of China. The claim came during the talks in the new Delhi, where the National Security Advisor Ajit Doval hosted Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. On Tuesday, the duo met for 24th border negotiations.
The meeting watched another tour of discussions the day before. Foreign Minister S Jaishankar met with Wang on Monday.
A statement published by the Beijing Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Jaishankar will serve the interests of both countries. The statement also told Wang Yi that India saw Taiwan as part of China.
The new Delhi officials later gave a different version of the talks. A high -level source said it did not change India’s stance. Source, Jaishankar’ın Wang Yi’ye India’s connections with Taiwan focused on economic, cultural and technological ties, he said.
India would confirm the ‘single-chin’ policy in common statements with Beijing. This practice stopped after 2008 when China began to publish visas stapled to Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh and Arunaçhal Pradesh. Beijing used visas to support regional claims.
In 2018, the Modi government indirectly adopted politics. Air India was asked to replace the word “Taiwan ile on the official website with“ China Taipei ”. Taiwan condemned my name. Authorities in Taipei showed that the movement showed that India was “defeated by unreasonable and absurd pressure from Beijing.
The uniform policy has been in force since 1949. The People’s Republic of China appeared after the communist victory in the Civil War. Politics only knows the People’s Republic of China and rejects Taiwan’s legitimacy.
India has followed this line since 1949. Therefore, India and Taiwan do not have embassies or consulates in their capitals. Instead, the India-Taipei Association serves as the de facto task of the new Delhi in Taipei.
Taiwan’s existence in India is represented by Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC) in the New Delhi. In 2012, another TECC was opened in Chennai.
Taiwan has recently expanded its footprint in India. A new TECC started operations in 2024 in Mumbai. The decision came despite Beijing’s protests. Taiwan sees India a key market for technology companies and a possible basis for new factories.
Beijing closely followed the political changes between the new Delhi and Taipei. In June 2024, China laid a protest after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s response to the congratulatory message of Taiwan’s president Lai Ching-Te. The message followed the victory of the national democratic alliance in the general elections.
The situation along the border shaped the conversation. In April and May 2020, Chinese troops took action to change the status quo in East Ladakh. Stand-off lasted more than four years. The incident launched calls in India to examine a policy in Taiwan. He chose not to review the government position.
Jaishankar’s re -confirming Taiwan as a part of China came to a delicate time. India and China are trying to bring back binary ties. After the Ladakh crisis, the history of relations fell from a low history.
