Prachanda backs China on Taiwan

Nepalese PM Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' on Sunday said that the Himalayan nation was against Taiwan's independence. "Nepal recognises the government of the People's Republic of China as the sole legal government representing the whole of China, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory," he said at the inaugural ceremony of the Chinese New Year celebrations in Kathmandu. Nepal made a departure from 'One China Policy' to 'One China Principle' during the visit of Prachanda to China in September last year. "We have already made our position on Taiwan clear... we are against Taiwan's Independence," he said.
