The increasing closeness between India and Taiwan is now stinging the dragon. Recently, Taiwan opened its new Consulate office in Mumbai. Taiwan has three consulates across the country, including offices in New Delhi and Chennai. China urged India to handle Taiwan issues carefully and avoid interference in the improvement of China-India relations following the inauguration of another Taiwan de facto consulate in Mumbai. Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning told a regular news conference that China opposes any move by any country with ties to Taiwan to engage in official contacts with Taiwan. There is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inseparable part of China’s territory.

China has lodged a diplomatic protest with India over the recently established office of Taiwan’s Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC) in Mumbai. India’s stand regarding Taiwan is clear. Taiwan is a major partner country of India. India and Taiwan stand shoulder to shoulder on the economic front. Be it manufacturing of semiconductors in India or exchange of other small and big technologies, Taiwan has supported India at every opportunity.
