[Asia Economy Reporter Sung Ki-ho] As the United States significantly eased contact regulations with Taiwan and sent an unofficial delegation, China urged the U.S. to uphold the "One China" principle. It also strongly condemned Taiwan using harsh expressions such as "poisoned wine" and "disaster."


Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of China, said at a press conference on the 14th regarding reports that U.S. President Joe Biden's unofficial delegation planned to meet with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen, "We oppose any official dealings between the U.S. and Taiwan."


Spokesperson Ma emphasized, "Adhering to the 'One China' principle and the three joint communiques between China and the U.S. (agreements on mutual non-interference and reduction of arms sales to Taiwan) is a solemn commitment between the U.S. government and China."



Regarding the military demonstrations near Taiwan, he stated that they serve as a warning message to the U.S. and Taiwan independence forces. He said, "The illusion of relying on the Western barbarians to grow stronger, depending on the U.S. to pursue independence, and even attempting to achieve Taiwan independence by force is like quenching thirst with poisoned wine," adding, "This will drive Taiwan into disaster."
