The one-China principle is a basic norm governing international relations and a prevailing consensus of the international community, said Chen Binhua, a spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, at a press conference in Beijing on Wednesday.
Chen made the remarks in response to a media query on the reports that Denmark has changed the nationality and place of birth registration for Taiwan residents living in Denmark from "Taiwan" to "China" since March 2024.
"The one-China principle is a basic norm governing international relations and a prevailing consensus of the international community. It is where global opinion trends and where the arc of history bends. No matter how deliberately the DPP regime makes small tricks, they cannot change the fact that Taiwan is part of China, nor can they shake the international community's basic commitment to the one-China principle," said Chen.

One day ahead of the humanoid robot half-marathon in E-Town of southwestern Beijing, the Chinese capital city hosted a pioneering robot contest on Saturday, highlighting breakthroughs in mobility, obstacle handling, and emergency response.
The 2026 Robot Warrior Challenge, co-hosted by the People's Government of Beijing Municipality and China Media Group (CMG), covers 17 obstacle courses simulating emergency relief scenarios of earthquakes, floods and fires, making it China's first full-scale, real-world emergency rescue contest for robots. A total of 37 teams from 19 companies and universities took part in the contest, competing across categories of humanoid, quadruped and wheel-legged robots, testing their embodied intelligence capabilities.
"The Robot Warrior Challenge is highly significant to verification of future data collection in real scenarios and improvement of data model algorithms. At the same time, it also poses significant challenges and engineering verifications in terms of the reliability, security and stability of the hardware. This year's event will vigorously promote transition of robotics toward knowledge application scenarios in future," said Liang Liang, deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Institute of Electronics.
