China called on the US to rein in support for Taiwan, after a bill providing some $8 billion in aid for the island was approved by the Senate in Washington.
“We firmly oppose the inclusion of Taiwan-related content in the relevant bill of the US Congress,” Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, told reporters in Beijing. “It sends a wrong signal to the Taiwan separatist forces. We urge the US side to fulfill its commitment not to support Taiwan independence with concrete actions and stop arming Taiwan in any way.”
