China says it complains to US about Taiwan delegation’s Washington visit

BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s foreign ministry said on Monday the country had lodged representations with the United States over reports that a Taiwan delegation was in Washington to meet with the Trump administration.

China opposes any form of official exchanges between the U.S. and Taiwan, and urges the U.S. to abide by the one-China policy, a ministry spokesperson said at a regular press briefing.

Beijing views democratically governed Taiwan as its territory, a claim rejected by Taipei.
