Q: The US House of Representatives approved the defense authorization bill for fiscal year 2005, which contains anti-China provisions such as selling landing vessels to Taiwan and conducting high-level military educational exchanges with Taiwan. Some Senators also proposed similar anti-China amendments. What's your comment?

A: The anti-China provisions in the defense authorization bill for fiscal year 2005 approved by the US House of Representatives and the amendments of the Senate are hostile to China and are severe violation of the three Sino-US Joint Communiqués and the US Government's repeated commitment to the One China Policy. China resolutely opposes to them and has made solemn representation to the US side.

China urges the US administration to clearly oppose these provisions and amendments by adopting effective measures to prevent them from being made into law so as not to undermine Sino-US cooperation.
