Vatican urged to take action for better ties – Xinhua

From Xinhua:

China on Thursday urged the Vatican to put into action its will to better relations with China.

“The Vatican is very clear about the principles that China advanced for developing China-Vatican relations,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan at a regular press conference.

The first is that the Vatican must terminate its diplomatic relations with Taiwan and recognize the fact that the government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legitimate government representing all of China, and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory.

The second is that the Vatican should not interfere in China’s internal affairs, including any intervention under the pretext of religious affairs.
