China Firmly Opposes US Giving Permission for Chen Shui-bian's Transit: FM Spokesman
China strongly resents and firmly opposes the US giving permission to allow Chen Shui-bian of Taiwan to transit through the United States, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhu Bangzao said Tuesday.
Zhu said at a regular press conference that the US action goes against the three joint communiques between the two countries and relevant commitments made by the US side.
The US action has fueled the tendency of "Taiwan independence " and rampantly interfered in China's internal affairs, Zhu stressed. China has always strongly opposed official exchange and contact between Taiwan and countries having diplomatic relations with China, the spokesman noted.
He urged the US to seriously handle the solemn representations made by China and abide by the one-China principle, adding that the US should correct its wrong-doings and take a prudent attitude towards the "transit" issue.
