BEIJING/TAIPEI (Reuters) - China accused the United States on Thursday of
interfering in its internal affairs and said it had lodged a complaint after
U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law an act laying the groundwork
for possible U.S. navy visits to self-ruled Taiwan.
Tensions have risen in recent days after a senior Chinese diplomat
threatened China would invade Taiwan if any U.S. warships made port visits
to the island which China claims as its own territory.
On Monday, Chinese jets carried out "island encirclement patrols" around
Taiwan, with state media showing pictures of bombers with cruise missiles
slung under their wings as they carried out the exercise.
On Tuesday, Trump signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act for
the 2018 fiscal year, which authorizes the possibility of mutual visits by
navy vessels between Taiwan and the United States.
Such visits would be the first since the United States ended formal
diplomatic relations with Taiwan in 1979 and established ties with Beijing.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said while the Taiwan sections of
the law were not legally binding, they seriously violate the "One China"
policy and "constitute an interference in China's internal affairs".
"China is resolutely opposed to this, and we have already lodged stern
representations with the U.S. government," Lu told a daily news briefing.
China is firmly opposed to any official exchanges, military contact, or arms
sales between Taiwan and the United States, he added.

Proudly democratic Taiwan has become increasingly concerned with the ramped
up Chinese military presence, that has included several rounds of Chinese
air force drills around the island in recent months.
Taiwan is confident of its defenses and responded quickly to the Chinese air
force drills this week, its government said, denouncing the rise in China's
military deployments as irresponsible.
Taiwan presidential spokesman Alex Huang, speaking to Taiwan media in
comments reported late on Wednesday, said the defense ministry had kept a
close watch on the patrols and responded immediately and properly.
Taiwan "can ensure there are no concerns at all about national security, and
people can rest assured", Huang said.
Both sides of the narrow Taiwan Strait, which separates Taiwan from its
giant neighbor, have a responsibility to protect peace and stability, he
added.
"Such a raised military posture that may impact upon and harm regional peace
and stability and cross-strait ties does not give a feeling of
responsibility, and the international community does not look favorably upon
this," Huang was quoted as saying.

Relations have soured considerably since Tsai Ing-wen, who leads Taiwan's
independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party, won presidential
elections last year.
China suspects Tsai wants to declare the island's formal independence, a red
line for Beijing. Tsai says she wants to maintain peace with China but will
defend Taiwan's security.
Taiwan is well equipped with mostly U.S. weapons but has been pressing for
more advanced equipment to deal with what it sees as a rising threat from
China. The United States is bound by law to provide the island with the
means to defend itself.
China has never renounced the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control
