China opposed to violation of Joint Communiques

Backgrounder:Three Sino-U.S. Joint Communiques

Joint Communique between the People's Republic of China and the United States of America (February 28, 1972 )

Joint Communique on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between the People's Republic of China and the United States of America (January 1, 1979)

Joint Communique between the People's Republic of China and the United States of America (August 17, 1982)

China is firmly opposed to the U.S. Congress establishing a panel dealing with Taiwan issues, said Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue Thursday. Zhang stressed that Taiwan issue was most sensitive and always at the core of Sino-U.S. relations. To ensure smooth development of the relations meant the U.S. side must adhere to the one-China policy and the Joint Communiques, and stop interfering in China's internal affairs.

China has always stood firmly against any form of official and military exchanges between the United States and Taiwan, said Zhang. The act of establishing the "Congressional Taiwan Caucus" initiated by a few members of U.S. House of Representatives violated the three Sino-U.S. Joint Communiques, and aroused the strong dissatisfaction in China.

Taiwan issue---core of Sino-US relations

A healthy development of Sino-U.S. ties was in the common interests of the two peoples. Any attempt to destroy Sino-U.S. relations would be in vain, Zhang said.

Zhang stressed that Taiwan issue was most sensitive and always at the core of Sino-U.S. relations. The U.S. government had made serious commitments on this issue to the Chinese government and people.

To ensure smooth development of the relations meant the U.S. side must adhere to the one-China policy and the Joint Communiques, and stop interfering in China's internal affairs.
