U.S. Taiwan Travel Act has symbolic meaning for Taiwan, China: experts
Taipei, March 17 (CNA) Experts Saturday described U.S. President Donald Trump's signing of the Taiwan Travel Act as symbolically meaningful, as it conveys a message of support to Taiwan. Trump signed the bill, which encourages visits between government officials of the United States and Taiwan at all levels, a day earlier, despite strong opposition from China. In doing so, the U.S. is letting China know that its approach to its relationship with Taiwan and China may be "completely different" from how it was in the past, according to Su. Although Trump already had the power to make such high-level official exchanges occur if he wanted to, the Taiwan Travel Act, albeit not legally binding, puts the idea into writing, which explains China's resolute opposition. A spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Washington expressed Beijing's strong dissatisfaction with Trump's action, saying that "the relevant clauses of the Taiwan Travel Act severely violate the one-China principle," according to a Saturday report from China's state-run Xinhua news agency.

"The relevant clauses of the Taiwan Travel Act severely violate the one-China principle," a statement from the Chinese embassy in Washington said. The statement said the US should stop pursuing any official ties with Taiwan or improving its current relations with Taiwan in any substantive way. In December, diplomat Li Kexin warned that Beijing would seize Taiwan by force if US warships visited Taiwan. "The Taiwan Travel Act has offered the possibility that officials, even high-level officials, from the US and Taiwan could conduct consultations on any issues.Author
