US should stop 'using Taiwan to contain China,' take concrete actions to preserve bilateral ties, says Chinese embassy

China Daily  

WASHINGTON -- China urges the US side "to stop arming Taiwan and its provocative moves of using Taiwan to contain China," the Chinese Embassy in the United States has said at a press briefing. "The US side needs to take concrete actions to preserve the overall as well as mil-to-mil ties between China and the US, and safeguard regional peace and stability," Minister Counselor Liu Pengyu said Tuesday as he elaborated on China's position on the Taiwan question. Noting that the Taiwan question is at the very core of China's core interests and the most important and sensitive issue in China-US relations, Liu said China urges the US side to act on US President Joe Biden's commitment of not supporting "Taiwan independence," "two Chinas" or "one China, one Taiwan" and not taking Taiwan as a tool to contain China. On US congressional visits to Taiwan and the second phase of negotiations under the so-called "US-Taiwan Initiative on 21st Century Trade," Liu said that China firmly opposes official interactions between the United States and the island or US interference in Taiwan affairs that are China's internal affairs.
