"'A just cause enjoys abundant support, while an unjust cause finds little support,' quoting the ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius."

Despite denying applying economic pressure, China praised the countries for supporting the one-China principle. Taiwan's Foreign Ministry criticized the countries' actions, asserting Taiwan's sovereignty and right to international engagement.
