Taiwan bedrock of China-US ties and core of Beijing's core interests: Lin Jian

Beijing, May 7 (UNI) China on Thursday said that Taiwan remains the priority topic ahead of a highly anticipated summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping next week, saying that adherence to the "One China" policy remains the foundation of stable bilateral ties between both the nations.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said, "Taiwan is non-negotiable. "The Taiwan question is at the very core of China's core interests and the bedrock of the political foundation of China-U.S. relations. ," he said, framing U.S. adherence to Beijing's position not as a diplomatic courtesy, but as a basic obligation, and a prerequisite for any stable relationship between the two powers.
"Abiding by the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiqués, and honoring the commitments made by U.S. administrations on the Taiwan question is the U.S.'s due international obligation and the prerequisite for a steady, sound and sustainable China-U.S. relationship. China has unwavering resolve in safeguarding national unity and territorial integrity. "Taiwan independence" and cross-Strait peace are as irreconcilable as fire and water. To keep the Taiwan Strait peaceful and stable, there must be unequivocal opposition to "Taiwan independence."
