Angry China has lodged “stern representation’’ with the U.S. condemning the President Donald Trump’s signed legislation which encourages the U.S. to send senior officials to Taiwan to meet Taiwanese counterparts and vice versa.
In a statement, China’s Foreign Ministry said the law sent a “seriously wrong signal” to the forces of Taiwan independence.
“We urge the U.S. side to correct its mistake, stop official exchanges between U.S. and Taiwan officials and substantively raise relations.
“And, prudently and appropriately handle the Taiwan issue to avoid causing serious harm to Sino-U.S. ties and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait region.”
