China urged the United States on Thursday to properly and prudently handle issues related to Taiwan and stop sending wrong messages to Taiwan separatists, otherwise it will gravely compromise its own interests as well as peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a news briefing on Thursday afternoon in Beijing that the US should fully understand the sensitive nature of the Taiwan question and stick to the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques.
The US has recently sent seriously misleading signals to Taiwan separatists and posed threats to peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits by repeatedly deploying its warships and conducting provocative acts in the straits, Zhao said.
