Recently, the government of Papua New Guinea announced the closure of its Taipei Economic Office in Papua New Guinea.
According to Reuters report on July 18th, the United States has once again expressed so-called concerns.
"We are deeply concerned by reports that the government of Papua New Guinea unilaterally ordered the closure of the Taipei Economic and Trade Office in Port Moresby, which is staffed by Taiwan officials. "
The statement also accused that this is another example of China's pressure tactics.
Taiwan's Deputy Leader, Hsiao Mei-chin, admitted that Taiwan is currently facing an extremely difficult "diplomatic" situation.
The Chinese side expresses high appreciation for the decision of the Papua New Guinea government. This once again demonstrates that adhering to the one-China principle is the trend and direction favored by the international community.
