Beijing slammed the bill, saying it violates U.S. commitments to China and puts Taiwan in a ‘dangerous situation’
Secretary of State Antony Blinken waves as he boards a plane, Tuesday, April 23, 2024, at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., en route to China.U.S.
Even before Blinken landed in Shanghai – where he will have meetings on Thursday before travelling to Beijing – China’s Taiwan Affairs Office slammed the assistance to Taipei, saying it “seriously violates” U.S. commitments to China, “sends a wrong signal to the Taiwan independence separatist forces” and pushes the self-governing island republic into a “dangerous situation.”
In the South China Sea, the U.S. and others have become increasingly concerned by provocative Chinese actions in and around disputed areas. China says it has the right to trade with Russia and accuses the U.S. of fanning the flames by arming and funding Ukraine. “It is extremely hypocritical and irresponsible for the U.S. to introduce a large-scale aid bill for Ukraine while making groundless accusations against normal economic and trade exchanges between China and Russia,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said Tuesday.
