House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) intention to meet Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen is “sending wrong signals” to Taiwanese officials, according to a senior Chinese diplomat.
“We strongly oppose any form of official interaction and contact between the U.S. side and Taiwan authorities,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said Monday. “Relevant U.S. congressman needs to abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques, refrain from sending wrong signals to 'Taiwan independence’ forces, and avoid undermining the China-U.S. relations and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
Chinese Communist officials claim sovereignty over Taiwan, a democracy of immense strategic importance in the Indo-Pacific and the global economy, even though they have never ruled the island.
“That has nothing to do with my travel, if I would go to Taiwan,” he said last month. “China can’t tell me where and when I can go.” “This was very coordinated messaging,” Bonnie Glaser, director of the Asia program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, told the South China Morning Post, which reported on the Chinese proposal. “It’s actually a more constructive reaction than their reaction to Pelosi, puts the ball a little more in their court.”
