China on Wednesday slammed the European Parliament's recent report on the geopolitical situation in East Asia for interfering in China's internal affairs.
State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokeswoman Zhu Fenglian said the report contained erroneous words and deeds related to China's Taiwan region when responding to media query about the document at a press conference in Beijing. "There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is part of China. This is the true status quo across the Taiwan Strait. The relevant report released by the European Parliament is a blatant interference in China's internal affairs, and we firmly oppose it," Zhu said.
"We urge the European Parliament to immediately correct its erroneous words and deeds related to Taiwan and handle Taiwan-related issues carefully and properly. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities' attempt to rope external forces into supporting their provocative actions for pursuing Taiwan secession is doomed to failure," she said.

Prices of new commodity housing in China's four first-tier cities edged up month on month in June, according to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Wednesday.

In China's second-tier cities, new commercial housing prices shifted from a 0.1 percent month-on-month decline in May to remaining flat in June, the data showed.
Among the 70 large and medium-sized cities, the sales prices of newly built commercial residential properties rose month-on-month in 20 cities, an increase of 4 from the previous month, the highest count of cities registering monthly new housing price gains since May 2025.
On a year-on-year basis, the overall declines in commodity housing prices across first-, second- and third-tier cities continued to narrow in June, according to the data.
