Beijing:

China on Wednesday slammed an invitation by US President Joe Biden for the self-ruled island of Taiwan to join a virtual summit on democracy, alongside more than 100 countries.

“China firmly opposes the US invitation to the Taiwan authorities to participate in the so-called Summit for Democracy,” said foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian, adding that Taiwan is “an inalienable part of Chinese territory.”
