China has welcomed a recent statement from South Korea’s Foreign Ministry reaffirming its commitment to the “One China” principle regarding Taiwan. A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson described the reiteration of the language from the original China-ROK joint communique as a positive step. The communique, established during the normalization of diplomatic relations, outlines South Korea’s position on Taiwan as part of China. This reaffirmation comes amid ongoing regional sensitivities surrounding Taiwan’s status and China’s claims over the island. The move is seen as an effort by Seoul to maintain stable relations with Beijing. Analysts suggest this clarification aims to avoid diplomatic friction and signal continued adherence to established agreements. The statement underscores South Korea’s long-held position despite evolving geopolitical dynamics.
