China vows ‘resolute, effective’ response to high-level US meeting with Taiwan’s President
Tsai met with a delegation of US politicians from the Republican and Democratic parties during a stopover in the US on Wednesday after visiting Guatemala and Belize, two of Taipei’s dwindling group of official allies.
“In response to the seriously erroneous acts of collusion between the United States and Taiwan, China will take resolute and effective measures to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the ministry said in a statement published by Xinhua.
Beijing claims Taiwan as its own territory and balks at any official contact Taipei has with other countries.
China has vowed to one day seize it, by force if necessary.
Wednesday’s meeting “gravely violated the one-China principle”, the ministry said, referring to the policy formally recognised by the US for decades.
“The Taiwan question is at the very core of China’s core interests and the first red line that must not be crossed in China-US relations,” the ministry added.
