Print Edition
China has lodged stern representations with the United States over Taiwan-related legislation.
It was reported that US President Donald Trump on Friday signed the bill that encourages visits between the US and China鈥檚 Taiwan at all levels.
鈥淲e firmly oppose the US side signing the Taiwan Travel Act,鈥 Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said.
鈥淎s has been pointed out many times by China, the relevant clauses of the act, though not legally binding, severely violate the one-China principle and the three joint communiques between China and the United States,鈥 he said.
The Taiwan Travel Act sends out wrong signals to 鈥減ro-independence鈥 separatist forces in Taiwan, Lu said.
He noted that China was strongly opposed to this.
鈥淲e urge the US side to correct its mistake, stop pursuing any official ties with Taiwan or improving its current relations with Taiwan in any substantive way, and handle Taiwan-related issues properly and cautiously so as to avoid causing severe damage to China-US relations and cross-Strait peace and stability,鈥 Lu said.
Wu Qian, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, said Taiwan is a part of China and issues regarding Taiwan 鈥渁re completely internal affairs of China.鈥
Wu stressed that the bill had interfered in the internal affairs of China and injured the environment for the development of relations between the two countries鈥 militaries as well as the peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
