Liu said China hopes and requires the United States to abide by the three Sino-US joint communiques, particularly the one signed on Aug. 17, 1982 in dealing with the related issues, so as to guarantee the smooth, healthy growth of Sino-US relations and properly solve the Taiwan issue, which remains the most sensitive and important one between the two nations.
