Beijing—China on Sunday said it had lodged a complaint with Seoul over South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s “erroneous” remarks about Taiwan, as a diplomatic spat simmers between the Asian neighbours.
Beijing and Seoul have traded barbs over a Reuters interview with Yoon this month, in which he called tensions between China and Taiwan a “global issue” similar to North Korea and blamed recent heightened tensions on “attempts to change the status quo by force”.
The Chinese foreign ministry said Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong had been ordered on Thursday to make a “solemn representation” to the South Korean ambassador over Yoon’s comments. The Taiwan question is a matter “belonging to the Chinese themselves and no force can be allowed to interfere,” Sun said, urging Seoul to “adhere to the One-China Principle and be careful in words and actions relating to the Taiwan issue.”
