Taipei [Taiwan] April 7 (ANI): Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs frowned on the Bolivian government’s expression of solidarity with China after the earthquake in Taiwan on Wednesday, calling it a ‘serious mistake’, Central News Agency (CNA) reported.

In a statement, Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns the Bolivian government that it was a serious mistake to express concern to China about the earthquake in Taiwan,” Taiwan News reported.

Wu accused China of taking advantage of the earthquake to carry out “cognitive warfare in the international community,” preventing nations from acknowledging Taiwan. He said Bolivia, just like Taiwan, is not part of China, according to Taiwan News report.

The Taiwanese ministry expressed regret that the Bolivian government failed to distinguish the appropriate country to express concern for. It called on Bolivia to not pay attention to China’s false statements.
