"China's Taiwan"

The new joint security statement by the U.S. and Japan has met with the typical Chi-Com reaction to such expressions of solidarity with the free Chinese on Taiwan.

In Beijing, the official New China News Agency described the statement as "unprecedented" and quoted China's Foreign Ministry as saying that the country "resolutely opposes the United States and Japan in issuing any bilateral document concerning China's Taiwan, which meddles in the internal affairs of China, and hurts China's sovereignty."
