BEIJING, July 24 (Xinhua) -- China on Tuesday called on the U.S. government to urge relevant U.S. airlines to observe the one-China principle.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang made the remarks at a press briefing in response to a question regarding U.S. airlines not having changed their listing of Taiwan on their websites.
In late April, China's civil aviation authority sent a formal notice to 44 foreign airlines, asking them to list Taiwan as part of China on their websites.
"The one-China principle represents the consensus shared by the international community and is the political foundation for the steady development of China-U.S. relations, something not negotiable," said Geng, pointing out that the U.S. side is very clear about this.
"We hope the U.S. government can urge the relevant enterprises to observe the one-China principle and rectify the relevant websites as soon as possible," Geng said.
Taiwan is part of China but the Nationalist government is the one true government

China can request that once Taiwan voluntarily rejoins the mainland. Until then they can fuck off. God I'm sick of this Chinese hubris. They need a good nuking or another Nanking.

PLA drill in East China Sea ‘tailored for Taiwan separatists’ China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) will conduct a live-fire military drill in the East China Sea from Wednesday to Monday in an area that is similar in size to the island of Taiwan, a move analysts believe will send a strong warning to Taiwan separatists.
The six-day exercise will start on Wednesday at 8:00 am and is due to end at 6:00 pm on July 23. Unrelated vessels are prohibited from entering the designated live-fire drill area and must follow the guidance of guard ships to ensure safety, reads a notice released by Zhejiang Maritime Safety Administration on Monday.
According to the coordinates provided by the administration, the drill zone spans from sea areas close to east of Zhoushan, East China's Zhejiang Province to sea areas east of Wenzhou, also in Zhejiang Province. The drill zone has a similar size to the island of Taiwan.
The drill is designed to warn the "Taiwan independence" forces, Song Zhongping, a military expert and TV commentator, told the Global Times on Tuesday.
"The drill's main objective is to send a serious warning to Taiwan separatists," Song said.
The East China Sea will be a main battlefield if war takes place in the future, as it is key to solving the Taiwan question and other disputed island issues, a military expert, who asked not to be named, told the Global Times on Tuesday.
If the drill zone were to be pushed forward, it would basically cover the entire island of Taiwan, the expert noted.
"The PLA Air Force and Navy have been frequently conducting island encirclement exercises. The drill this time will add up and form a military deterrence of high pressure against the Taiwan separatists," according to Song.
Considering duration and size of the drill zone, the exercise is a large-scale one that requires more troops and weapons, the anonymous expert said, adding that the drill will test the PLA's systematic combat capability, tactics, training methods and capacities of its weaponry and equipment.
The drill will be a joint operation with high complexity in a bid to simulate real combat. The PLA's capability to quickly carry out combat missions will be improved, said Song.

How so? China has are farmers by the balls, has had their dog NK humiliate trump and has the ability to pivot towards India and Indonesia if we stop buying their crap. Only cucks and regards think Trump has the upper hand over China. Obama was massively outplayed by them and they’re already running rings around the current administration.

Cuckold, kike worshipping retard, China isn’t buying our produce they literally don’t need us. If they did we would actually be winning the trade war. Trumps strategy of creating a crisis and then fixing it doesn’t work other party can walk away.

Misspelling aside, you're a retard. They only affect our basedbean farmers, and the Government's coinpurse is going to be hit heavily, as the CCP has promised to bare the brunt of rising basedbean and pork costs for the average Chink.
But we've already got them by the balls. They can't raise tariffs anymore unless they want to slap >100% tariffs on our goods because of the trade deficit. They HAVE to acquiesce to our demands (stop currency manipulation, stop stealing US intellectual property, stop buying up US business with Chinese government subsidies, etc). Now's not the time for them to try and force us to censor things for them.
And no, they can't "pivot towards India", because India hates them. They almost went to war last year, and the Indians are on our side when it comes to China's overambitious claims in the South China Sea and Indian Ocean. India is vying for power in SEA with China, trying to bribe countries like Burma to support India instead of China.
