Anger in Taipei after Beijing official says there is no median line in Taiwan Strait
Taiwan has demanded that China “back off” and accused it of threatening peace, after a Beijing official rejected the existence of a largely respected marine boundary following recent incursions.
The Taiwanese foreign minister, Joseph Wu, urged Beijing on Tuesday to “return to the civilised international standards” after a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said there was no so-called median line in the Taiwan Strait “as Taiwan is an inseparable part of Chinese territory”.
