The Chinese communist government on Friday released a furious statement condemning the planned visit by U.N. Ambassador Kelly Craft to Taiwan -- accusing the U.S. of a "crazy provocation" and warning that it will pay a "heavy price" for the visit.
"The United States will not succeed in its attempt to harm China’s core interests through political manipulation on the Taiwan question," a spokesman for the Chinese Mission to the U.N. said in a statement. "We wish to remind the United States that whoever plays with fire will burn himself. The United States will pay a heavy price for its wrong action."
"China strongly urges the United States to stop its crazy provocation, stop creating new difficulties for China-US relations and the two countries’ cooperation in the United Nations, and stop going further on the wrong path," the statement said.
The angry response came after the U.S. announced that Craft would visit Taipei next week for meetings with Taiwan officials and diplomats. While Taiwan is self-governing, Beijing claims the island is part of its territory.
"During her trip, the Ambassador will reinforce the U.S. government's strong and ongoing support for Taiwan’s international space, in accord with the U.S. one-China policy that is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three U.S.-PRC joint communiques, and the Six Assurances to Taiwan," the U.S. Mission said in a statement.
