BEIJING - Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Friday.

"Resolving the Taiwan question is a matter for the Chinese people themselves, with no room for external interference," spokesperson for the ministry Mao Ning told a regular news briefing when asked to comment on US President Donald Trump's recent remarks related to Taiwan.
