Taiwan: China has eyes for everyone but Taiwan at APEC
URGENT ACTION

Beijing snubbed Taiwan during Wednesday's APEC ministerial meeting in Santiago.
"Taiwan cannot be called a country. It's an economy," China's Assistant Foreign Minister Shen Guofang told reporters after the first day of the two-day APEC ministerial meeting.

"It may be possible that both economies sit down and talk about issues not concerning sovereignty, but so far there isn't any arrangement for such bilateral talks about anything," he said.

Shen and Deputy Commerce Minister Yi Xiaozhun, are Beijing's representatives to the ministerial meeting, in the absence of Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing and Commerce Minister Bo Xilai, who were supposed to attend.

Li and Bo were expected to arrive in Santiago yesterday along with with other senior economic officials.

Both Beijing and Taipei's delegates attended Wednesday's meeting, but they didn't interact with one another.

This was the second year in a row without any bilateral talks during the APEC ministerial meeting.
