Strong Counter-Measure Taken by China against U.S. Supported

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, July 20 (KCNA) -- China is taking a strong counter-measure against the United States, dismissing its interference in the issue of Taiwan as unjustifiable. Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says this in a signed article accusing the U.S. of assisting Taiwan, interference quite contradictory to its policy of "one China".
    The article goes on: Some days ago Bush signed a bill of U.S. Congress supporting Taiwan's entry into the World Health Organization and the U.S. discussed the issue of Taiwan's plan to buy a large quantity of arms on the basis of the proposal put forward by him in 2001. Its proposal to post its "resident military attache" in Taiwan in the future is also pushed forward.
    Taiwan is part of the inseparable territory of China. China has consistently stood for the national sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the principle of "peaceful reunification, one country and two systems" and worked hard to preserve them in various ways.
    The U.S., however, is overtly and covertly rendering political and military aid to Taiwan, giving a shot in the arm of its "forces advocating independence", while voicing support to the "one China" policy. This is an open interference in the internal affairs of China, an indication that the U.S., regarding China as a major rival in establishing domination over Asia, seeks to contain that country and block its reunification by supporting Taiwan.
    The U.S. double-dealing behavior is touching off strong concern and opposition of China as it runs counter to the three joint communiques adopted between China and the U.S. and reneges on the promise made by the U.S. to oppose "Taiwan's independence."
    The Chinese People's Liberation Army is now staging joint military exercises of its three services in its southeastern waters to command air and sea by mobilizing its missile units and other types of modern weapons.
    This proves China' strong counter-measure against the unjust U.S. interference in the issue of Taiwan.
    It is the stand of China to make a "comprehensive plan for reform" aimed to boost the military capability to check the U.S. military interference in the issue of Taiwan and thoroughly implement it.
