BEIJING -- China on Friday urged foreign politicians visiting Taiwan to immediately stop interfering in China's internal affairs and to refrain from supporting "Taiwan independence" separatist activities.

In response to Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te's "Taiwan independence" separatist remarks, Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the Chinese foreign ministry, said China consistently and resolutely opposes any form of official engagement between the Taiwan region and countries having diplomatic relations with China.

Whether their erroneous words and actions are motivated by selfish interests or the sinister plot of "using Taiwan to contain China," those politicians miscalculate and will surely be doomed to failure as China's complete reunification is an irreversible trend, the spokesperson said.
