China has lodged a protest with India following Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's response to a congratulatory message from Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te on June 5th. The Chinese foreign ministry reiterated its stance against any form of official interaction between Taiwan and countries with which it has diplomatic relations, emphasizing the 'one China' policy. On June 6th, China raised the matter with India. In response, Taiwan's foreign ministry rebuffed Beijing's remarks on June 7th, describing them as 'utterly unjustified'. The U.S. State Department commented that such congratulatory messages are part of normal diplomatic business.
