China firmly opposes any military collusion between the United States and China's Taiwan region, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian on Friday at a press conference in Beijing.

Responding to media reports that Taiwan's navy is scheduled to discuss cooperation with the the United States next week, Lin said, "China firmly opposes any military collusion between the United States and Taiwan. There is but one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The one-China principle is the political foundation of China-U.S.relations."
