The People’s Republic of China regards Taiwan as an integral part of its territory and, in accordance with the “one China” principle accepted by most of the international community, offers all countries associated with Beijing the right to extend Taipei’s It has asked them to refrain from official diplomatic contact with the authorities.
China has reportedly successfully pressured Brussels to cancel a trip scheduled for next month. China’s discovery of Mr Morgado’s planned itinerary also raised surprises as to whether Beijing obtained information about the top-secret visit electronically or via human intelligence.
The anonymous diplomat also expressed concern over the fact that Brussels collapsed so quickly after Beijing’s intervention was reported.
An EU official assured Politico that Mr Morgado had no intention of traveling to Taiwan and had only planned telephone conversations with Taiwanese officials. It was scrapped after China’s ferocious reaction to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan earlier this month, followed by weeks of Chinese military exercises around Taiwan.
A spokesman for China’s Permanent Mission to the EU commented on Morgado’s talk of canceling his visit, saying that the Chinese government is “consistent with all forms of official exchanges between the Taiwan region and any country or entity that has diplomatic relations with China.” I am firmly against it,” he stressed.
The EU has generally sought to avoid antagonism with China, with China-EU trade reaching €696.1 billion in 2021 and the People’s Republic acting as the bloc’s largest trade and investment partner.
Also last week, a delegation of US lawmakers arrived in Taiwan for a two-day visit as part of an extensive tour of the region.
China adheres to the “One China” principle, which recognizes that China is the sole legitimate government of China, and Taiwan (officially the “Republic of China” itself) is part of the People’s Republic of China.

Chinese authorities have made reunification of Taiwan and the mainland a major policy, hoping that reunification will take place peacefully under the “one China – two systems” model currently applied to Hong Kong and Macau. Make it a priority. This would theoretically allow Taipei to maintain substantial political and economic autonomy even though it is part of China.
