����BEIJING, March 26 (Xinhuanet) -- China has called on the United
States to keep its commitments and stop interfering in China's internal
affairs by using the Taiwan issue, said Chinese Foreign Ministry
spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue here Tuesday.
����Zhang said at a news conference that the United States should abide
by the "one China" policy and adhere to the three Sino-U.S. joint
communiques.
����Zhang said, during U.S. President George W. Bush's visit to China,
the two sides achieved many consensus and agreed to keep high level
contacts and exchanges for the advancement of a relationship of
constructive cooperation between the two countries.
����However, Zhang said, within the one-month period of time after
Bush's visit, the U.S. side several times acted in a way which interfered
in China's internal affairs and could have damaged Sino-U.S. relations.
����The Chinese side demands the U.S. side seriously take the solemn
representations on these issues made by the Chinese side, said the
spokeswoman.
����She stressed that the Taiwan issue, which relates to China's
sovereignty and territorial integrity, is an essential and extremely
important issue and is at the heart of Sino-U.S. relations. Any act to
trample upon the three Sino-U.S. joint communiques could result in a "very
unfavorable" impact on relations between the two countries. Enditem
