China’s strong reaction came after Biden said Thursday that the US would come to Taiwan’s defence should China attack the island nation. Biden’s statement came in the wake of recent increased Chinese air activity above the Taiwan Strait which was criticised by the US, while Beijing insisted against interference in “China’s internal issues.”
The Taiwan Relations Act, a 1979 law, has guided US relations with Taiwan. Relations have also been informed by what is known as the Three Communiques, which are bilateral agreements with China. He added that Cuba delivered a joint statement on behalf of 62 countries at the Third Committee of the 76th Session of United Nations General Assembly, stressing that issues related to Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Tibet are China’s “internal affairs that brook no interference by any external forces and expressed support for China's implementation of One Country, Two Systems in Hong Kong.
“This Anglo-Saxon ‘clique’ created by the three countries is a typical military bloc that smacks of obsolete Cold War zero-sum mentality,” he said.
