Taiwan lashed out at China on Thursday, branding Beijing's deputy ambassador to the United Nations as "shameless" for expressing gratitude to the international community following a powerful earthquake on the island.
The rift underscores the ongoing tension between the two, as China asserts sovereignty over Taiwan, despite its democratic governance.
Taipei fiercely opposes Beijing's attempts to represent it on the global stage, given the absence of any historical authority over the island.
