China Foreign Minister Urges U.S. to Clearly Denounce Taiwan Separatist Activities

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi urged the U.S. to clearly state its opposition to all separatist activities supporting Taiwan independence during a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, adding that relations between the two nations have “suffered a grave impact” and are at a “critical juncture.”

Wang told his U.S. counterpart that the Taiwan question is “at the core of China’s core interests” during a meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly on Friday Washington time, according to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
