China warns US against 'playing with fire' through supporting Taiwan
Tehran (KNA) - China says the United States is “playing with fire” by a series of actions it has taken in the Taiwan Strait in support of the self-ruled island’s secession bid.
Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian made the comment in a monthly news briefing on Thursday, saying Washington has recently been incessantly playing the "Taiwan card" in a futile effort to "use Taiwan to control China."
"This is deluded," he said. "The series of actions the US side has taken is playing with fire, seriously harms the development of military relations between China and the United States, and seriously harms peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait area."
China issued the warning as Taipei was conducting a live-fire drill on Thursday at a beach in southern Taiwan.
