US official's Taiwan meeting criticized

China expressed strong dissatisfaction and opposition on Monday to a meeting between United States National Security Adviser John Bolton and Taiwan's security chief Lee Ta-wei.

The meeting took place during Lee's trip to the US from May 13 to 21, and was reported as the first of its kind since 1979, when the US established diplomatic ties with China.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said at a daily news conference that China is against any form of official exchanges between the US and Taiwan under any pretext, as well as any attempt to create "two Chinas" or "one China, one Taiwan".
