A spokesman of Germany's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Christian Social Union (CSU) said in Beijing Tuesday that Germany always holds that the Tibet Autonomous Region and Taiwan are both inalienable parts of China.

"The German federal government has always held that Tibet and Taiwan are inalienable parts of China and will continue to adhere to the one-China policy," said Eckard Von Klaeden, the CDU/CSU's foreign policy spokesman.

Klaeden mad the remarks in a meeting with Wang Jiarui, head of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

Wang spoke highly of the good momentum of the development of China-Germany relations and briefed Klaeden on China's parliamentary sessions which have just concluded.

He told Klaeden about the situation of the recent riot which occurred in Lhasa, and elucidated the Chinese government's policy towards Tibet and the development progress and achievements of Tibet.

Wang also briefed Klaeden on the reform of the institutions of the State Council and the preparation of the Beijing Olympic Games.

Klaeden said Germany opposes any remarks and acts of boycotting the Beijing Olympic Games.
