german official says warships passing through taiwan strait are to "maintain freedom of navigation"; china responds

a reporter asked: german defense officials said that the warships passing through the taiwan strait are to "maintain freedom of navigation". what is the ministry of foreign affairs' comment on this?

mao ning: the one-china principle is the basic norm of international relations and a universal consensus of the international community. the taiwan issue is not an issue of "freedom of navigation" but an issue concerning china's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

we respect the navigation rights of all countries in relevant waters in accordance with chinese laws and international law, including the united nations convention on the law of the sea, but firmly oppose any provocation or threat to china's sovereignty and security under the banner of "freedom of navigation."
