Charlot Salwai made the comment on Wednesday during the official presentation of over 400 athletes and officials who'll take part in the mini games next month in Honiara.
Through its aid programme, China has funded the construction of facilities for the games as well as roads on the islands of Tanna and Malekula.
Mr Salwai said he knew Taiwan's president was currently visiting its allies in the Pacific, but his government will continue to support China.
