The Chinese Embassy in Seoul lodged a protest, Thursday, against a Korean National Assembly delegation for its recent visit to Taiwan, stating the trip undermines Korea-China friendship.

"The visit seriously violates the One China principle and the spirit of the joint communique on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Korea," the embassy's unnamed spokesperson said in a statement. "China expresses its firm opposition and strong protests."

The Chinese Embassy in Seoul on Thursday protested strongly against a South Korean parliamentary delegation's recent visit to Taiwan, calling it a "serious violation" of their bilateral joint agreement.
