Multiple warnings have gone unheard in Taiwan as the island chose Lai Ching-te as its next President.

Taiwan's new President Lai Ching-te vows to maintain Taiwan strait despite Chinese presence

Following Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu's interview with WION, the Chinese embassy has said that it "strongly deplores and firmly opposed" the interview. The reaction, in the form of a release, has been put on the Chinese embassy website and a copy of it has been sent to our diplomatic correspondent Sidhant Sibal asking him to take it "seriously".&nbsp;

The statement restated Beijing's standard line on Taiwan, saying, "China firmly opposes separatist moves toward 'Taiwan independence' and interference by external forces, and never allows any room for 'Taiwan independence' forces in whatever form."

It went on to say, "As an unsettled question since the Chinese civil war, Taiwan will eventually return to the embrace of the motherland and the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will surely achieve reunification."

In the past few months, increased engagement has been seen between India and Taiwan, including, the signing of a mobility pact, a Taiwanese company involved in establishing semiconductors fab plant in Gujarat. Later this year, Taiwan will open an office, its de facto consulate in India's financial city, Mumbai.

This reaction from the Chinese Embassy was not unexpected, given its past responses to engagements between Taiwanese officials and Indian media outlets.

The Embassy's approach is reflective of China's assertive and aggressive style of diplomacy, often characterised as "wolf warrior diplomacy." Such tactics, while intended to assert China's interests, have been criticised for their counterproductive nature and detrimental impact on international cooperation.

WION, anticipating a strong response from the Chinese Embassy, had during the interview questioned Wu about his expectations regarding such reactions. He said, "Chinese criticism is unwarranted and continue to speak with Taiwan to make sure that we (Indians &amp; Taiwanese) understand each other and we can continue to strengthen our people-to-people ties."

China puts pressure on nations to not recognise Taiwan as a country: Foreign Minister Joseph Wu tells WION

Joseph Wu asserted that Taiwan can defend itself while stating that he believed the US will come to its aid in case <a href="China forces prepare for possible military invasion of Taiwan, deploy hypersonic missile">China</a> attacks.

Taiwan's foreign minister's comments come amid the country's deteriorating relations with China over the past few months. The Taiwan government had said recently that a diplomat was hospitalized after a scuffle with two Chinese diplomats who tried to force their way into Taiwan's representative office in Fiji during <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-warship-transits-taiwan-strait-china-calls-it-undermining-peace-335434">National Day</a> celebrations.

The diplomat received head injuries during the scuffle as Fiji&nbsp;police officials forced the Chinese diplomats from the office. The two Chinese diplomats reportedly wanted to take pictures and collect information on who was attending Taiwan's National Day celebrations.

Taiwan later said it will not be intimidated by China's "hooligan" officials while condemning the "irrational acts" by the Chinese diplomats amid heightened tensions between the two countries.

Chinese officials, however, said that its diplomats were trying to find out whether any Fijian politician were present at the event.

Earlier in the month, Chinese jets had made repeated incursion into Taiwan's airspace as the National Day approached which was widely criticised by Tsai Ing-wen's government.

During a speech on Taiwan's National Day, President Tsai Ing-wen had said: I am also aware that the leader across the Strait has publicly stated in a video message to the United Nations General Assembly that China will never seek hegemony, expansion, or a sphere of influence ... we hope this is the beginning of genuine change," &nbsp;President Tsai Ing-wen had said in her National Day speech.government.
