WATCH: China warns foreign officials against congratulating Taiwan elections

• The Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement following Taiwan's presidential election Saturday that “the Taiwan question is China’s internal affair" and "the basic fact that .... Taiwan is part of China will not change.”

• China's Foreign Ministry said the US statement “sends a gravely wrong signal to the ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist forces” and goes against a US commitment to maintaining only unofficial ties with Taiwan.
