TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — On Friday China urged the United States not to allow President Tsai Ing-wen to make transit stops in the U.S. state of Hawaii and the territory of Guam.

China’s state news agency Xinhua reported that China has lodged solemn representations with the U.S over President Tsai’s planned transit and has strictly asked the Trump Administration to follow and respect the one-China policy.

“The one-China principle is the common consensus of the international community and the principle to adhere to when dealing with Taiwan’s external exchanges,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said at a regular news briefing as reported by Xinhua.

“As for the Taiwan leader’s transit via the U.S., her real purpose is self-evident,” Geng said.

The report also mentioned that China hopes and believes the U.S will honor and respect its commitment made to the Chinese government and will do nothing to jeopardize the same.     [FULL  STORY]
