The Taiwan issue is the biggest problem between China and the United States, China’s ambassador to the country, Qin Gang, said
There could be a military conflict between China and the states if the U.S. encourages Taiwanese authorities to declare the island’s independence.
“If the Taiwanese authorities, with the approval of the United States, continue down the path of declaring independence, it will likely lead to China and the United States, two large countries, being drawn into an armed conflict”, – the ambassador warned.
However, the Pentagon said that the U.S. remains committed to a “one-China” policy, as well as to fulfilling its obligations under the U.S. Taiwan Relations Act
