Taiwan is an issue on which China refuses to compromise. If a nation recognizes the island of Taiwan, expect China to be troubled and take action such as suspending diplomatic relations with the small Caribbean island-nation of Saint Lucia.
BEIJING, May 5 (Xinhua) -- China on Saturday suspended its diplomatic relations with Saint Lucia.Heh.
Chinese Ambassador to St. Lucia Gu Huaming on Saturday lodged solemn representations and strong objection to the government of St. Lucia after the Caribbean state resumed so-called "diplomatic relationship" with Taiwan.
Gu, on behalf of the Chinese government, announced the suspension of diplomatic relations with St. Lucia and the cessation of fulfilling all agreements between the governments of the two countries.
The Taiwan authorities announced Tuesday that it has resumed "diplomatic relations" with St. Lucia.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said in a statement that the resumption of "diplomatic relations" between St. Lucia and Taiwan was a flagrant violation of the declaration on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and St. Lucia.
