Taiwan said it recalled seven representative officials from Hong Kong, citing “unreasonable political preconditions” for its personnel to operate in the city.
Hong Kong has been requesting since July 2018 that Taiwan’s representatives sign a “one China principle” commitment letter as part of visa requirements, Taipei’s Mainland Affairs Council said in a statement on Sunday. Taiwan will adjust the business operations at its representative office in Hong Kong from June 21, the agency said.
