China’s envoy to the US said the Biden administration is undermining the “One China” policy through its support for Taiwan and is exacerbating tensions with its human rights claims over Beijing’s treatment of Hong Kong and Xinjiang.
Speaking at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado on Wednesday, Ambassador Qin Gang said Washington’s increasingly close political and military ties with Taiwan and the human rights criticism are worsening ties between the world’s two largest economies.
