Regarding the recent trip to Taiwan by Duckworth, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said today that we firmly oppose any form of official exchanges and military engagement between the United States and Taiwan. Some members of the US Congress have repeatedly taken wrong actions on the Taiwan issue that seriously violated the one-China principle of and and , and condoned and supported the separatist activities of "Taiwan independence" and were very dangerous! The DPP authorities attempted to win over external anti-China forces to seek "independence" provocation, which was doomed to fail.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian also expressed this today that we urge relevant US politicians to truly abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, immediately stop any form of official exchanges with Taiwan, and not send any wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. China will continue to take effective measures to resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
