Taipei has accused the Chinese government of “belittling” the island’s “sovereignty and democratic system”

Taiwan has rebuked Beijing for calling last Saturday’s election on the self-governed island a Chinese “domestic affair,” rejecting the label as “fallacious” and “completely inconsistent with the international understanding” of the situation.

Beijing considers Taiwan to be part of its sovereign territory under the One-China principle, and reiterated its claim over the island in diplomatic messages following the presidential election on Saturday, calling the vote an internal Chinese matter. Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected this position in a statement on Sunday, urging the government in Beijing “to respect the election results, face reality, and give up oppression against Taiwan.”
