China's top diplomat called on the United States to exercise 'utmost caution' on the Taiwan issue, according to reports. The statement follows a U.S. push for broader ties with Taiwan, which Beijing views as a provocation.
China's top diplomat issued a public call Wednesday for the United States to handle the Taiwan issue with 'utmost caution,' according to a brief statement attributed to the diplomat. The intervention comes amid a continued U.S. push to deepen economic and diplomatic ties with Taiwan despite Chinese objections. As The Zioneer reported on June 29, U.S. federal departments jointly urged states and businesses to expand cooperation with Taiwan in trade, investment, education, and tourism. Beijing has repeatedly condemned such moves as interference in its internal affairs but has not specified consequences. The current statement, which provided no new details or deadline, is the latest in a series of Chinese warnings over Taiwan policy. No additional context on specific U.S. actions that may have prompted the remark was immediately available.
