On June 2, a reporter asked at a press conference of the Ministry of Commerce: The United States and Taiwan recently announced that they will launch the "US-Taiwan 21st Century Trade Initiative" and will start the first round of negotiations at the end of the month. What is the response of the Ministry of Commerce to this?

spokesperson Gao Feng said, "We have noticed that the US and Taiwan region have announced the launch of the so-called "US-Taiwan 21st Century Trade Initiative." China firmly opposes this.

Gao Feng stressed that the Taiwan issue is related to China's core interests. One China Principle is the prerequisite for Taiwan to participate in foreign economic cooperation. China has always opposed any form of official exchanges between any country and Taiwan, including the negotiation and signing of any economic and trade agreement with sovereignty and official nature. The US side should abide by the one-China principle and the three joint communiqués of China and the United States, abide by the international law and the basic norms of international relations, handle economic and trade relations with Taiwan carefully, and prevent false signals from being sent to the separatist forces of "Taiwan independence". This is related to the overall situation of China-US relations and world peace, stability and prosperity.
