lpv:translated text	"The inclusion of Taiwan on the list of third countries whose nationals are exempt from visas is clear provocation of the People’s Republic of China, violating the sovereignty of its institutions over its territory. It constitutes a shameless attempt to stoke divisions and a violation of China’s territorial integrity. Confirmation of this decision will constitute tacit recognition of Taiwan, and will be a violation of international law and the United Nations Charter by the EU, because Taiwan has never been a sovereign state: in fact, this has been repeatedly recognised by the UN General Assembly, which has never accepted the country’s participation in the UN. In this period of the worsening crisis of capitalism, the majority of this House is once again sending the message that the end justifies the means: in this case, the end is to try to contain China’s extraordinary economic development, including by fostering separatism within its borders. This is another US-aligned position to have violated China’s sovereignty, as also occurred recently when a Member State sold weapons to Taiwan’s supposed ‘authorities’. It is unacceptable that the majority of this House still supports the violation of states’ sovereignty and territorial integrity, as happened in the case of Kosovo in relation to Serbia, and as is happening in the case of Southern Sudan in relation to Sudan."@en1
