Philippines and Vietnam have protested over Chinese passports
in which a map of China includes disputed islands in the South China
Sea.
The Chinese government began issuing the passports in May.
Philippine government officials lodged a protest on Wednesday. They said
a dotted line on the map encompasses the disputed islands, making them
look as though they belong to China.
Vietnamese officials lodged a protest on Thursday. They said the map
violates Vietnam's sovereignty. They demanded the Chinese delete the
dotted line.
Taiwanese officials lodged a protest on Friday. They said a picture in
the passports shows a sightseeing spot in Taiwanese territory as though
it is part of China.
A spokesperson for the Chinese foreign ministry said Friday that Taiwan
is part of China. The spokesperson said the map in the passport does not
highlight any particular country and urged governments to deal with the
matter rationally.
A spokesperson for the Japanese Embassy in Beijing said the passports do
not show islands claimed by Japan and China in the East China Sea as
belonging to China.
