BEIJING, May 18 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Monday stressed that the international community's adherence to the one-China principle is unchallengeable and cannot be shaken.
Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, made the remarks when responding to a media query regarding the decision of the 79th World Health Assembly (WHA) on Monday not to include in its agenda a proposal by certain countries on Taiwan's participation as an observer.
Noting that this marked the 10th consecutive year that the WHA rejected so-called Taiwan-related proposals, Chen said the decision once again demonstrated that upholding the one-China principle is a consensus of the international community.
It also proved that the Democratic Progressive Party authorities' attempts to seek a so-called "breakthrough" on Taiwan's participation in the WHA through underhanded maneuvers are doomed to fail, the spokesperson said. ■
