"One-China" Principle Widely Accepted: FM Spokeswoman

More and more countries as well as the international community have come to acknowledge the fact that Taiwan is a part of China, said Spokeswoman of China's Foreign Ministry Tuesday.

"The recent normalization of relations between China and Macedonia demonstrates that the 'one-China' principle is now widely accepted," spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue said at Tuesday's press conference.

The Taiwan authority's rejection of such a principle constitutes the ultimate cause for the delayed alleviation in cross-Straits relations, Zhang said in response to a relevant question.

"China hopes that the Taiwan authorities will clearly accept the 'one-China' principle at an early date, so as to be conducive to the development of the cross-Straits relations, as well as the social stability and economic development in Taiwan," she said.
