China firmly opposes any country, including
the United States, permitting the leader of the Taiwan
authorities to conduct a transit visit under any excuse,
said Foreign Ministry Spokesman Sun Yuxi on May 15 in
Beijing.
Sun said that the Chinese Government
has expressed through diplomatic channels its strong
resentment and opposition to the U.S. Government permitting
such a transit visit by the Taiwan authority leader.
China hopes that the United States will act in
accordance with the principles enshrined in concerned
bilateral documents, and will not interfere in China’s
internal affairs regarding the Taiwan issue.
