WASHINGTON, Aug 24, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The United States on Thursday accused
China of destabilizing cross-Strait relations following the announcement this
week that El Salvador would end diplomatic ties with Taipei in favor of
Beijing.
“The United States will continue to oppose China’s destabilization of
the cross-Strait relationship and political interference in the Western
Hemisphere,” the White House said in a statement.
“This is a decision that affects not just El Salvador, but also the
economic health and security of the entire Americas region,” it also said of
Tuesday’s announcement, reiterating that the US would reevaluate its ties
with the Central American country as a result.
