The secretary of state said on Wednesday that the U.S. and its allies would 'take action' if China attacked Taiwan.
Wang said Blinken's remarks showed"a disregard for facts," taking particular issue with the TRA, which he described as an American"domestic law" that the U.S. had"placed above international obligations." The spokesperson appeared to be referring to the U.S.-China Three Communiques, which Washington considers non-binding statements of policy intention.used by another Chinese official on Wednesday, Wang called the TRA"illegal and invalid.
In 1982, the Reagan administration complemented the third communique by giving Taiwan the Six Assurances, which said, among other things, that the U.S. had not agreed to set a date for the end of arms sales, had not altered its position regarding sovereignty over Taiwan and would not pressure Taiwan into negotiations with China.
The Biden administration has reaffirmed that the U.S."one China" policy is guided by the TRA, the Three Communiques and the Six Assurances. The Chinese government, meanwhile, recognizes only one these three elements.
