BEIJING – The US is sending a “very wrong and dangerous signal” in its recent moves pledging support for Taiwan, said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, even as his American counterpart stressed the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
Mr Wang warned US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday that current relations had “suffered a serious shock” and are at a critical juncture, emphasising the urgency for both sides to mend ties.
The two diplomats had met for 90 minutes on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
The US has no right to interfere in how the Taiwan issue is resolved, Mr Wang was reported to have said to Mr Blinken, according to Chinese official news agency Xinhua.
It also reported Mr Wang as saying that the more rampant Taiwan independence activities are, the less likely the peaceful resolution of the Taiwan question will be.
