On Tuesday, the US House of Representatives passed two bills relating to Taiwan. The so-called "Taiwan Travel Act" aims to encourage visits between US and Taiwan functionaries at all levels. The Chinese Foreign ministry responded to this act on Thursday.

LU KANG CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESPERSON ''China has once again stressed that the so-called Taiwan Travel Act seriously violates the one-China policy, and the principles established in the three China-US communiques. The act interferes with China's internal affairs. And China is firmly opposed to it. The US should handle the issue carefully, refrain from any official contact with Taiwan, and avoid giving the wrong signal. China hopes that the US can take the right actions to maintain healthy China-US relations."
