BEIJING, July 7 (Xinhua) -- China urged the United States to stop "sending the wrong signals" to Taiwan independence forces, as the island's new leader Tsai Ing-wen contacted several U.S. congressmen.
"We insist on handling Taiwan's external contacts in the principle of the one-China policy, and oppose any countries having diplomatic relations with China to conduct any official association or contacts with Taiwan," said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei on Thursday.
Hong told a daily press conference that China was very dissatisfied with contact between U.S. officials, congressmen and Tsai Ing-wen. China has already lodged solemn representations with the U.S. side.
