STORYLINE:
China on Monday urged the U.S. to see through the “true nature” of independence of Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te and his government after the U.S. granted Lai access to Hawaii for a stopover.
Lai arrived Saturday in Hawaii to begin a two-day transit in the U.S. as part of a trip to the South Pacific, his first since assuming office.
The stopover in Hawaii and one planned for the territory of Guam have drawn fierce criticism from Beijing, which claims Taiwan as its own territory and objects to official exchanges between the self-ruled democracy and the U.S., the island’s biggest backer and military provider.
In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian once again called on the U.S. to recognize what he called the “serious harm” of Taiwan independence to the stability of the Taiwan Strait and to “stop meddling in Taiwan-related matters.”
