China firmly opposes the US House of Representatives' passage of the defense authorization bill for fiscal year 2005, which contains anti-China provisions, and has made solemn representation to the US side, said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Tuesday in Beijing.
The anti-China items, which demand sales of landing vessels to Taiwan and high-level military educational exchanges between the United States and Taiwan, together with similar amendments put forward by some people of the US Senate, posed a severe violation of the three Sino-US joint communiques and the one-China policy the US government has reiterated many times that it will abide by,said Liu.
China urges the US administration to clearly oppose these provisions and amendments, adopt effective measures to prevent them from being made into law, in order to prevent possible harm to Sino-US relations, he said. |
