MOSCOW, December 18 (RIA Novosti) - Russia has reaffirmed its position in favor of China's territorial integrity.

"As regards the Taiwan problem, Russia is of the opinion that there is only one China. The government of the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing the whole of China, with Taiwan being an inalienable part of China," Russian Foreign Ministry's official spokesman Alexander Yakovenko said, commenting on the Chinese parliament's intention to consider a bill "On Measures to Resist Separatists' Activities".

"Russia is against Taiwan's independence in any form or configuration. We do not accept the concepts of "two Chinas" or "one China and one Taiwan". Russia has been consistently supporting the People's Republic of China's efforts to ensure a peaceful settlement of the Taiwan problem, the Russian diplomat emphasized.

Alexander Yakovenko reminded the audience that in accordance with the Russian-Chinese Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation Treaty of July 16, 2001, the Russian side fully supports the Chinese side's policy pertaining to issues of protecting national unity and territorial integrity of the People's Republic of China.
