On June 9, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian hosted a regular press conference. A foreign journalist asked, "Taiwans Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that on June 8, three South Korean parliamentarians from both the ruling and opposition parties met with the Director-General of Taiwans Ministry of Foreign Affairs, exchanging views on responding to geopolitical challenges, political, economic, and cultural exchanges, and the development of the semiconductor and AI industries. How does China view this exchange?" Lin Jian emphasized, "Taiwan is part of China, and there is no such thing as a Ministry of Foreign Affairs there." He stressed that China has consistently and firmly opposed any form of official exchanges between countries that have diplomatic relations with China and Taiwan. Lin Jian pointed out that since the beginning of this year, South Korea has publicly reiterated on multiple occasions that its position of respecting the one-China principle remains unchanged. China has lodged a strong protest with South Korea on this matter. We urge South Korea to proceed from the overall interests of China-South Korea relations, honor its commitments, earnestly adhere to the one-China principle, refrain from any form of official exchanges with Taiwan, avoid being exploited by "Taiwan independence" elements, and refrain from sending wrong signals to "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, and take concrete actions to safeguard the healthy and stable development of bilateral relations.June 9th - While the national rental market is consolidating, first-tier cities are showing a different trend.

Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen have become the "leaders" in this round of rental market stabilization.

On June 1, the China Coast Guard vessel Daishan flotilla conducted law enforcement patrols in the waters east of Taiwan. A reporter from the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun asked about this at the conference. "Regarding the lawful law enforcement patrols conducted by the China Coast Guard flotilla in the waters east of Taiwan, the China Coast Guard Bureau has already released relevant information," Lin Jian reiterated. He emphasized that China possesses an exclusive economic zone and continental shelf in the waters east of Taiwan, and that Japan and the Philippines, bypassing China, have unilaterally initiated so-called "maritime boundary negotiations," which seriously violates international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and the basic norms of international relations, and severely infringes upon Chinas maritime rights and interests. China will never allow this.On June 9th, a gold merchant at the Shuibei Market in Shenzhen stated that when gold prices were rising, they could sell 2 kilograms a day, generating approximately 2 million yuan in sales.
