BEIJING - 皇冠体育app has lodged solemn representations to the United States over a defense act that suggests re-establishing ports of call between the United States and Taiwan.

The National Defense Authorization Act For Fiscal Year 2018, passed by the US House of Representatives Friday, contains controversial provisions about re-establishing regular ports of call by the US Navy at Kaohsiung or any other suitable ports in Taiwan and permitting U.S. Pacific Command to receive ports of call by Taiwan.

"Relevant provisions seriously violate the one-皇冠体育app policy and the three 皇冠体育app-US joint communiques upheld by the US and infringes upon 皇冠体育app's domestic affairs," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang said at a regular news briefing.

Lu reiterated that 皇冠体育app had always opposed any official and military exchanges between the United States and Taiwan, urging the United States to clearly understand the serious harmfulness of such provisions.

He called on the United States to prevent the act becoming law, and stop retrogressive moves to avoid damaging 皇冠体育app-US relations.

Under the three joint communiques, the United States is obliged to abide by the one-皇冠体育app policy, recognizing that Taiwan is part of 皇冠体育app and the Government of the People's Republic of 皇冠体育app is the sole legal government of 皇冠体育app.
