我駐巴西聖保羅辦事處組長王之化三月十日在當地墜樓身亡，網路傳出一封署名為其遺孀俞惠敏所寫公開信表示，王墜樓原因，疑與他在聖保羅不願草率核銷官邸修繕費，遭辦事處長馮光中挾怨報復霸凌有關。外交部澄清，指相關修繕費用在王到任前就已核銷結案。
外交部回應後，俞再度發表公開信，直指馮光中指控她先生「貪汙一萬多巴西幣」；她還強調，自己要提出「不自殺聲明」。

Wang Chih-huah, a division chief of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Sau Pulo, Brazil, committed suicide by jumping from a building. An open letter signed by his widow Yu Hui-min was circulated on the Internet and stated that the reason for Wang's suicide is related to his reluctance to hastily verify costs associated with repairing the official residence and consequent retaliation and bullying by Director-General Fong Kuang-jong, who heads the office.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) clarified that the relevant repair expenses had been written off and closed before Wang assumed his post. After MOFA responded, Yu issued another open letter, alleging directly that Feng accused her late husband of corrupting more than 10,000 Brazilian reais (about US$1,977) She stressed this point by issuing her "non-suicide statement."

According to the Xinhua News Agency, von der Leyen reiterated that the EU has no intention of changing its long-standing "One China" policy, recognizes the government of the People's Republic of China as the sole legitimate government and representative of China, and hopes that peace and stability will be maintained in the Taiwan Strait.

前總統馬英九訪中時，稱兩岸同屬中華民國；蔡英文總統回應，這個論述應該是一九七○年代的論述，與現在的環境有些差距，「中華民國跟中華人民共和國互不隸屬，兩岸互不隸屬是清楚的事實」。馬英九辦公室抨擊，蔡英文否定憲法的「一中原則」，公開主張「兩國論」，將台灣帶向險境，已不適任中華民國總統。

When he visited mainland China, former President Ma Ying-jeou stated that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to the Republic of China. President Tsai responded that this narrative is typical of the 1970s but is somewhat different from current circumstances. According to President Tsai, the R.O.C. and the People's Republic of China are not subordinate to each other. That both sides of the Taiwan Strait are not subordinate to one another is a clear reality. Ma's office slammed President Tsai's denial of the "One China" principle under the Constitution and open advocacy of a "Two States" theory, bringing Taiwan into danger. For this reason, Tsai is no longer fit to serve as president of the Republic of China.
