US Risks Relations With China By Playing Taiwan Card: People's Daily

China must warn the U.S. that it is pushing the bilateral relations to a confrontational direction as some U.S. politicians have successively hyped up the idea of so-called "Taiwan's participation in the United Nations system" and ignored the facts to slander China as a threat to regional stability, said the party-run newspaper People's Daily in a commentary attributed to a pen name Zhong Sheng which is used when the leadership wishes to register its view. The Taiwan issue concerns China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and China's core interests, which is the most important and sensitive issue in Sino-U.S. relations, the newspaper said. If the U.S. continues its wrongdoings, it will not only pose a huge subversive risk to the easing of the current relations, but also will seriously damage the peace of the Taiwan Strait and the U.S. interest, the newspaper said.
