A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson on Thursday urged the United States to stop supporting the Taiwan region in consolidating the so-called "diplomatic allies" and stop sending any wrong signals to "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.

Spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the remarks at a regular press briefing in response to the erroneous remarks made by the US regarding Lai Ching-te's "postponement" of his visit to Eswatini.

The US arbitrarily meddles in China's legitimate actions to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and wantonly criticizes the just efforts of relevant countries to uphold the one-China principle, which is a total distortion of right and wrong, Guo said.

"China firmly opposes and will never accept it," he said.

China urges the US side to abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques, and stop interfering in China's internal affairs under the pretext of the Taiwan question, he added.
