Beijing: The United States is at risk of paying “unbearable prices” because of his actions over Taiwan, Wang Yi, a member of the State Council and Foreign Minister, said in an interview with government media on Thursday.
China claims democratically ruled Taiwan as its own territory and in the past two years has increased military and diplomatic pressure to confirm its sovereignty claims, triggering anger in Taipei and concern in Washington.
By “pushing the ‘Taiwanese” United States “independence power not only placing Taiwan into a very dangerous situation but also explained the United States to an unbearable price”, Wang said.
Taiwan has emerged as a key factor in tense relationships between China and the United States, supporting suppliers and the most important international arms on the island despite the absence of formal diplomatic bonds.
Taiwan said it was an independent country and oath to maintain freedom and democracy.
China regularly describes the island as the most sensitive problem in relation to the United States.
“Taiwan has no other way forward besides reunification with land,” Wang said.
While the United States only recognizes one China, is required by the law to give Taiwan by defending itself and has long followed the “Strategic Ambiguity” policy on whether to carry out military intervention to protect Taiwan at that time.
