'US must immediately stop all official interactions with Taiwan': China fumes over US lawmaker's

visit to Taipei

Beijing: China on Friday reacted strongly to US lawmaker Marsha Blackburn's visit to Taiwan and asked the American government to immediately stop all forms of official interactions with Taipei. It should be noted that the Republican Senator is on a visit to Taiwan from August 25 to 27.

In response to a media query, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that the Marsha Blackburn's visit to Taiwan region "seriously violates the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiques", and goes against the US commitment of maintaining only non-official ties with the Taiwan region.

"There is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China," the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson went on to add, "We will not waver in opposing 'Taiwan independence' separatist activities and external interference. We urge the relevant U.S. politician to abide by the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, immediately stop all forms of official interactions with Taiwan, and immediately stop sending wrong signals to 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces."

Taiwan isn’t part of it.
Based on your flimsy excuses, Mexico could demand we give them Texas.

...also support Taiwan yet hide the fact that that other R's bitched to high heaven when the fucking Speaker of the House, representing all Americans, made her visit public. I swear Blackburn is just as dumb as Ron Johnson (R-WI/Idiot)!

Yeah, sure. Call us when Putin demands Alaska back and when Mexico tries to retrieve California.

I get that they were upset about the Speaker of the House visiting Taiwan, although if they had ignored it, everyone would have forgotten by now. But getting upset over a visit by Marsha Blackburn? Even in America she is a minor figure, unknown to much of the country, and half of those who DO know who she is consider her an ignorant, useless idiot.

If they had kept quiet about Blackburn’s visit, no one would have even known she was there.
