A Chinese official on Friday condemned what it described as \"military collusion\" between the United States and the Taiwan region, urging Washington to cease any official interactions with the island.
In response to queries about a possible visit by Taiwan's navy chief to the U.S. next week, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian reiterated that the Taiwan region is an inalienable part of China's territory. He warned that any such interactions could send the wrong message to \"Taiwan independence\" separatist forces.
\"The one-China principle is the political foundation of China-U.S. relations,\" Lin stated. \"China urges the U.S. to fully recognize the high sensitivity of the Taiwan question and the grave harm of relevant issues.\"
Lin also called on the U.S. to fulfill its commitments with concrete actions, adhere to the one-China principle, and respect the three China-U.S. joint communiqués.
