Both ministries indicated, separately, that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China and after signing such a trade deal Washington is obviously violating all commitments agreed and foundations of its relations with Beijing.

“We urge the United States to adhere to the ¨One China¨ principle and the three joint statements, to handle economic and commercial relations sensibly, as well as to cease any official trade deal with Taiwan”, China´s Commerce Ministry reported.

The Foreign Ministry, on the other hand, pronounced itself in similar terms, calling on the White House to revoke the trade deal signed with Taiwan, and also condemned this is another action encouraged by a separatist agenda, because Taiwan authorities “are handing it to them on a platter”.
