Department of Foreign Affairs (INQUIRER FILE PHOTO) MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said it is 'not convinced' that the highly-anticipated 'Barbie' film has depicted China's nine-dash line.

BEIJING, May 23 -- Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the one-China principle is the prerequisite for Taiwan to participate in foreign economic cooperation, a spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce said Tuesday. The comments came after the United States announced that it would sign the first agreement with the Taiwan region of China under the "U.S.-Taiwan Initiative on 21st Century Trade." China always firmly opposes countries that have diplomatic relations with it to conduct any form of official exchanges with Taiwan, including the negotiation and signing of any economic and trade agreement with sovereignty implications and official nature, said the spokesperson.
