China Review News: It’s reported Michael McCaul, the chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the US House of Representatives, said he will lead a delegation to visit Taiwan at the end of May and congratulate Taiwan’s “new leader” on his inauguration. What’s China’s comment?

Wang Wenbin: China firmly opposes official interaction in any form between Taiwan and the US and opposes US interference in Taiwan affairs in any form or under any pretext. The US Congress is part of the US government and supposed to strictly adhere to the one-China policy followed by the US. Any visit by congressional members to Taiwan will seriously violate the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués, interfere in China’s internal affairs, undermine China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and send a seriously wrong signal to “Taiwan independence” separatist forces.

China urges the US to seriously abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués, not arrange for any visit by members of the Congress to Taiwan, stop official interaction with Taiwan, stop creating tensions in the Taiwan Strait and act on the US commitment to maintaining only cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the Taiwan region and not supporting “Taiwan independence”. Otherwise, all consequences arising therefrom must be borne by the US.
