Anger over US jets in Taiwan

CHINA’S foreign ministry expressed its anger yesterday after two US fighter jets landed in Taiwan in a rare official contact between the militaries of the United States and the island.

Taiwan authorities said the two F-18s landed at an air force base in southern Taiwan on Wednesday after experiencing mechanical problems. They said it was not clear where they were coming from or where they were going.

“We have already made solemn representations to the US side,” said China’s foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying.

“China demands that the United States strictly abide by the ‘one-China policy’ ... and cautiously and appropriately handle this incident.”
