China Warns US To Stop Developing Military Relations With Taiwan
BEIJING, Dec. 21 (UPI) -- Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao Tuesday urged the United States to stop developing its military relations with Taiwan.
Liu made the statement during a news conference, referring to the U.S. appointment of a military liaison official to Taiwan, Xinhua, China's main government-run news agency, reported.
The move by the United States to develop military ties with Taiwan infringes the principles set forth in three Sino-U.S. joint communiques, Liu said.
Liu also demanded Japan reverse its issuance of a visa to former Taiwan President Lee Teng-hui. He said refusing the request would hurt bilateral relations, the Kyodo news agency reported.
"The Japanese government is acting in disregard of solemn representations and opposition by the Chinese government," he said. "We express our strong dissatisfaction and call on the Japanese government to rectify the move."
