The official reiterated that Beijing upholds national unity and territorial integrity and urged Washington to oppose Taiwanese independence and handle that issue with prudence.

Song also called on both sides to comply with the consensus reached by their respective heads of State and expressed the hope that the United States respects the one-China principle, opposes Taiwanese independence, and supports national reunification.
