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.

Taiwan Hit With Strongest Earthquake , in 25 Years.
A 7.4-magnitude earthquake rocked
Taiwan early on April 3, AP reports.
Nine people have been confirmed dead so far.
Over 900 others have been injured.
Dozens of people are
trapped in buildings and quarries. .
The massive quake prompted a
tsunami warning that has since been lifted.
Taiwan is usually one of the best-prepared countries for earthquakes, as it experiences them often.
This is because Taiwan is located on the Pacific "Ring of Fire" where most of the planet's earthquakes occur, AP reports. .
But authorities failed to send out alerts this time because they only expected a mild earthquake.
I’ve grown accustomed
to (earthquakes). But today
was the first time I was scared
to tears by an earthquake. , Hsien-hsuen Keng, a resident who lives in
a fifth-floor apartment in Taipei, via AP.
I was awakened by the earthquake.
I had never felt such intense
shaking before, Hsien-hsuen Keng, a resident who lives in
a fifth-floor apartment in Taipei, via AP.
In addition to buildings being
demolished, 35 bridges, roads and
tunnels were damaged by landslides
