"A man and a woman shall enter into marriage freely and voluntarily. Neither party may compel the other party to enter into marriage against his will, and no organization or individual may interfere with the freedom of marriage." Government attitude The attitude of the Government of China towards homosexuality is believed to be "three nos": "No approval; no disapproval; no promotion".

The tweet, which included a rainbow-colored GIF that read "love is love" angered the Foreign Minister of Taiwan, Joseph Wu, who retaliated, "WRONG!
