Tsai must stop playing dangerous game

By resorting to the old, tricky game of "private and unofficial" transit through United States territory, Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen has made her previous "stance" to seek better ties with the Chinese mainland quite doubtful.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang had urged the US not to allow Tsai to transit through Hawaii and Guam on Saturday on her way to some Pacific countries, because it would violate the one-China principle, which not only Washington but also the international community has acceded to.

Tsai's transit through the US on Saturday is her second this year. In January, she stopped over in Houston and San Francisco on her way to and from Latin America.
