President Tsai Ing-wen
Majorenko also described the locking out of Taiwan from taking part in global health activities as "nonsensical" during the forum's panel discussion, and said it could lead to implications for the rest of the world, including China.
"Whatever the US side says or does will never change the objective fact that there is only one China in the world and the Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan regions are all inalienable parts of China's territory", Geng said on Monday, adding that "China will continue to handle its relations with other countries in accordance with the one-China principle". "Only then can the two sides negotiate on the issue of Taiwan's participation in global organizations and related activities".
China sees self-governing democratic Taiwan as part of its territory awaiting reunification and has used its clout to diminish the island's presence on the world stage since Beijing-sceptic President Tsai Ing-wen took power in May 2016.
It would facilitate Taiwan's inclusion "if and when cross-strait understanding on WHA participation is restored", it told Agence France-Presse in a statement.

In case the US-China trade row worsens, it will adversely affect the operations and deployments of Taiwan businesses in China, the industrial supply chains in Taiwan and China, and the import and export trade of Taiwan, according to the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA). It added that under the World Health Organization charter, Taiwan should be allowed equal participation in all World Health Organization events.
"China's use of its one-sided political stance, and persistence in suppressing and blocking our participation in the WHA, disregards Taiwan people's health safety rights", the island's Mainland Affairs Council claimed in a statement on Monday.
Unlike Taiwan's previous administration, that of Tsai's has not acknowledged the "One China" principle.
The Trump administration lashed out Saturday at a demand by China for USA airlines to stop describing Taiwan and Hong Kong as separate countries, calling the request "Orwellian nonsense". "He will stand up for Americans resisting efforts by the Chinese Communist Party to impose Chinese political correctness on American companies and citizens". Beijing also considers Taiwan to be a province of China, rejecting the notion of China and Taiwan as two countries, or the notion of "two Chinas" (the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China).
