China protests South Korean president's Taiwan comments.

China's vice foreign minister has lodged a complaint with South Korea's ambassador to Beijing over "erroneous" remarks by the South Korean president about Taiwan, calling them "totally unacceptable" and expressing "strong dissatisfaction". The diplomatic dispute between Beijing and Seoul stems from a recent interview with Reuters during which Yoon Suk-yeol said the dispute between China and Taiwan was now a global issue. Under the One China policy, China insists that democratically governed Taiwan is part of its own territory, a position Taipei strongly rejects.
