“We call on the American side to take practical steps to strictly adhere to the One China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-American joint communiqués,” he said in an interview with TASS.
In addition, the diplomat, on behalf of official Beijing, called on Washington to confirm by practical actions the fulfillment of the obligations of the American leadership that the United States does not seek a new cold war, change China's system, and does not support the independence of Taiwan.
“The United States should stop moving along the wrong path,” the ambassador added.
Earlier, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian said that the PRC urges the United States to respect Beijing's vital interests and give up illusions about using Taiwan to control China.
The Kremlin noted that tensions after the visit of the speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan will not subside quickly.
Under Secretary of Defense for Political Affairs Colin Kahl said the United States does not support Taiwan's independence aspirations.
