China Opposes US, Taiwan Military Exchanges
The Chinese government is strongly displeased and firmly opposes military exchanges and cooperation between the United States and Taiwan, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan said in Beijing Friday.

Kong made the remark in response to a visit to Taiwan by a Pentagon official to discuss anti-missile cooperation and US weapons sales to the island.

Military exchanges and cooperation between the United States and Taiwan violated the principles of the communiqué signed on Aug.17, 1982, and pledges made by the US side, Kong said.

Warning that this move would send the wrong signals to Taiwan independence forces, Kong urged the United States to clearly recognize the damage it could cause on such a sensitive issue.

The US should adhere to the pledges it has made on the Taiwan issue to avoid impairing its relations with China, said Kong.
