WASHINGTON: The United States insisted on Tuesday (May 10) that nothing had changed in its stance toward Taiwan after Beijing was angered by an updated fact sheet that used less explicit langua

The State Department said the United States still only recognised Beijing as China's government and was simply polishing off an online fact sheet which had not altered in several years.

The updated fact sheet, which appeared on the State Department's website last week, said that the United States"has a longstanding One China policy, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three US-China Joint Communiques and the Six Assurances." In Beijing, foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that President Joe Biden needed to take"real actions" to show he opposes Taiwan's independence.
