China complains over support for Taiwan at COP27 climate summit

China on Tuesday criticized calls made by some COP27 delegations for Taiwan to be included in the annual climate talks process.

Using a 'right of reply' statement at the end of a day of speeches at the Sharm el-Sheikh conference, China urged the summit to stick to the 'One China Principle' under which it regards Taiwan as part of China.

China claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory. Taiwan's government rejects China's sovereignty claims. Earlier in Sharm el-Sheikh, Guatemala's environment minister Gerson Elias Barrios Garrido praised Taiwan's assistance in his country efforts to adapt to rising global temperatures.

Nauru's climate change minister Rennier Gadabu made similar remarks about Taiwan and urged the U.N. climate change body to agree an "appropriate arrangement for their professional, pragmatic, constructive participation".
