BEIJING, Sept. 13 (Xinhua) -- China hopes the United
States will honor its commitment on the Taiwan issue, said Chinese Foreign
Ministry spokesperson Jiang Yu on Thursday.
The U.S. government had reaffirmed its observance of the one-China policy
and three Sino-U.S. joint communiqués and opposition to Taiwan authorities'
proposed referendum on UN membership, said Jiang.
"China hopes the U.S. will honor its commitment and
work with China to safeguard stability of the Taiwan Straits and the general
situation of Sino-U.S. relations," she told a regular press conference.
She said the Taiwan issue was related to China's
sovereignty and territorial integrity and the internal affairs of China.
"It has been acknowledged by the international
community that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inalienable
part of China, and the People's Republic of China (PRC) is the only government
representing the whole of China," she added.
Jiang said the Taiwan authorities had recently fully
demonstrated they were engaging in the secessionist activities.
"Any action challenging the UN charter and Resolution 2758 (to restore the PRC's legal status in the UN in 1971) as well as one-China principle
is unpopular and doomed to failure," Jiang said.
China says checking "Taiwan
independence" in common interests of China, U.S.

region, and is in the interests of both China and the U.S.," said Foreign
Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu at a regular press conference. Full story
