However, Tsai Ing-wen actually mispronounced the name of her "old acquaintance" Li Yingjie as "Kwong Yingjie" on the spot, causing controversy.

Regarding the attendance of U.S. officials at the "American Institute in Taiwan" activities, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang once said that it must be pointed out that the U.S. sending officials to Taiwan for activities under any pretext seriously violates the one-China principle and China-U.S. The three joint communiqués stipulate that interference in China's internal affairs will have a negative impact on Sino-US relations. We urge the U.S. to abide by its commitments to China on the Taiwan issue and correct its wrong practices to avoid damaging Sino-U.S. relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
