HK, Taiwan, Macao are inseparable from China: Foreign Ministry

Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said on Sunday that no matter what the US says, it won't change the objective fact that there is only one China in the world, and that Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are inseparable parts of China.

China will continue to handle its foreign relations according to the one-China policy, Geng said, urging foreign corporations running businesses in China to respect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, abide by China's laws and respect Chinese people's national feelings.

Geng made the remarks after a White House statement criticizing China's efforts to require foreign airlines to stop referring to Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao as independent from China.
