Vatican Reaffirms No Threat to Chinese Sovereignty

The Vatican reaffirmed its stance that the Catholic Church is no threat to China's sovereignty and acknowledged past mistakes by Western missionaries. This gesture came during a high-level commemoration event in Rome, attended by Shanghai Bishop Joseph Shen Bin and Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin. The event marked the first time a mainland Chinese bishop participated in a Vatican public event as a keynote speaker. The Vatican's actions aim to improve relations despite past controversies, including Shen's unilateral appointment by China in 2023, which seemingly violated a 2018 agreement.
