China has already made official statements as a warning about the violations committed by the US, the Chinese Foreign Ministry also noted in a statement released on its official website.
China's Foreign Ministry "strongly condemned" the US statement on the Taiwan election, after Washington congratulated Lai Ching on his victory in the presidential election held on the island, which Beijing considers a Chinese province.
According to China's Foreign Ministry, the US statement sends a deeply wrong message to Taiwan's pro-independence separatist forces.
"We strongly condemn and strongly oppose it," the Chinese Foreign Ministry added in a statement released after the US Secretary of State congratulated Lai Ching on his election victory.
Blinken's comments violate the US commitment to maintain only cultural, economic and informal ties with Taiwan. China has already made official statements as a warning about the violations committed by the US, the Chinese Foreign Ministry also noted in a statement released on its official website.
The American Institute in Taiwan also announced that an unofficial American delegation will arrive in Taiwan today, a day after the presidential election.
That committee, made up of former US National Security Adviser Steven Hadley, former Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg and American Taiwan Institute President Laura Rosenberger, will meet on Monday with "a group of key political figures and will convey the best wishes of the American people to Taiwan and to the success of the election," said the corresponding announcement issued by the American Institute in Taiwan.
Taiwan also called on China's leadership to respect the results of the presidential election won by Lai Ching-te on Saturday, who promised to protect the island from threats and intimidation from Beijing.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls on the Beijing authorities to respect the election results, accept the reality and stop oppressing Taiwan," the Taiwanese ministry said in a statement.
It is remembered that Lai Ching-te yesterday celebrated his election victory by leaving clear messages to Beijing, which he presented as "authoritarian" and accused it of "attempting to influence the election result".
"Taiwan is China's Taiwan. Taiwan's independence is incompatible with peace in the Taiwan Strait and is against the interests and well-being of the Taiwanese people," Beijing said in a statement, "responding" to the newly elected president.
"This election result will not prevent the inevitable reunification with China," said Chen Binghua, a spokesman for the Chinese office in charge of relations with Taiwan. /Adapted "Pamphlet" from "Reuters"
