China urges U.S. to stop supporting 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces

The United States should stop supporting "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and take concrete actions to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Monday.

Spokesperson Hua Chunying made the remarks in response to a query about a relevant statement by U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price.

Hua said Taiwan is China's Taiwan, and it is not up to the United States to make irresponsible remarks. The relevant U.S. remarks seriously violated the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-U.S. joint communiques, sending extremely wrong and irresponsible signals.
