Beijing calls on Washington to avoid damaging Sino-US ties over Taiwan

‘Beijing has lodged an official complaint with Washington over the passage of a bill that would expand military ties between the United States and Taiwan.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang on Monday expressed his country’s opposition to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) recently passed by the US House of Representatives, saying the measure went seriously against the “One China” principle and was interference in China’s internal affairs.
“China firmly opposes any forms of official exchange and military contact between the US and Taiwan,” Lu told reporters at a regular press briefing, adding that Beijing had made “stern representations” to Washington over the “negative content” of the bill.
The NDAA, passed on Friday, contains a section that calls on the US to expand its defense spending in Taiwan and to provide Taipei with increased military training.’
