BEIJING, March 8 (Xinhua) -- There is no basis in international law for the Taiwan region to establish or maintain so-called "diplomatic relations" with any country, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Wednesday at a press conference.

"Since such relationships have no legitimacy, they will have no future," said Wang.
