U.S. bill promoting Taiwan ties angers China



China says it wants to strengthen its ties with Taiwan. That’s a day after state media said Beijing could go to war if a U-S bill promoting closer ties with the Island state becomes law. A senior leader from China’s ruling party said Beijing will deepen solidarity and friendship with its compatriots in Taiwan. Yu Zheng-sheng added that a parliamentary advisory body, which he heads, will spare no effort to work together for its greater national interests and the realization of the Chinese Dream. The developments come after the U-S Senate on Thursday passed a bill that calls for encouraging visits between the United States and Taiwan at all levels. China which considers the self-ruled island as its own warned that Taiwan will get burnt if it seeks to rely on foreigners.
