China has lodged a stern representation to the United States for permitting Taiwan's Annette Lu Hsiu-lien to make transit stops in its territory, Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said Thursday. "China's stance has been constant and clear, as we firmly opposes the United States making any official exchanges with Taiwan in any form," Qin told a regular news briefing. It is reported that Lu has made a transit stop in the U.S. territory early this week en route to three Latin American nations. She will also make a stop-over in United States on her way back. China has lodged a stern representation to the U.S. side, said the spokesman. "We strongly urge the U.S. side to honor its commitments to the one China policy, abide by the three Sino-US joint communiques and oppose 'Taiwan independence', prevent Lu from making any secessionist activities in the United State in any names, and stop sending wrong signals to 'Taiwan independence' forces, so as to safeguard the stability across the Taiwan Straits and the overall situation of Sino-US relations," Qin added.
