BEIJING, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) — Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin on Monday called on the United States to reconsider its strategic perception of China, stop sending wrong signals to separatist forces seeking "Taiwan independence," and refrain from escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait.
Jiang Bin made the statement in response to a question from reporters about the updated version of the US National Security Strategy document, which states that the US does not support any unilateral actions aimed at changing the status quo in the Taiwan Strait.
The recently passed US National Defense Authorization Act by the US House of Representatives also attempts to intervene in Taiwan-related issues, as do the statements made earlier by the US Secretary of Defense.
"There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is part of China. This is an indisputable historical and legal fact, as well as the unchangeable status quo in the Taiwan Strait," said Jiang Bin.
He noted that the resolution of the Taiwan issue is an internal matter for China that does not allow any outside interference, and that any attempt to use Taiwan to contain China is doomed to failure. -0-
