The ABC understands up to four MPs will make the journey to Taiwan for the event for Lai Ching-te.
The ABC understands four politicians from across the political spectrum will attend the event on Monday in Taipei.
The embassy's spokesperson urged Canberra to "abide by its commitment to the one-China principle and fully honour its commitment without any compromise or inconsistency". "As sovereign country, the Republic of China has been widely recognised as a mature democracy," Mr Hsu said. "Parliamentarians travelling to Taiwan do so in their individual capacities. Australia's Representative in Taipei will also attend the inauguration, consistent with past practice."On Monday, Dr Lai will succeed President Tsai Ing-wen, marking the first time in the self-ruled island's history that the independence-minded Democratic Progressive Party has won three consecutive presidential terms.
Beijing's warning comes amid rising tensions, as Taipei reported that Chinese military forces conducted a "combat patrol" near the island this week, including sending aircraft across the sensitive median line of the Taiwan Strait.
