China Slams US Senate Bill Supporting Taiwan's Defense - Tasnim News Agency

China accused the US of violating its commitment to the “One China” principle and interfering in internal Chinese affairs Thursday, after the US Senate Foreign Relations committee approved a new bill that could significantly increase American defense support for Taiwan.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told reporters in Beijing that China had “lodged serious complaints” with Washington over the legislation, which still needs US House and President Joe Biden’s approval to become law, AP reported.

“The one-China principle is the political foundation of China-US relations,” she said. “If the bill continues to be deliberated, pushed forward or even signed into law, it will greatly shake the political foundation of China-US relations and cause extremely serious consequences to China-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.”
