China condemned the short visit of Taiwan's Vice President Lai William to United States (US).
In a statment, Chinese Foreign ministry said that it opposes any form of visits by separatists seeking the so-called independence of Taiwan, as it described it.
Moreover, the statement stressed that China is closely following the developments and will take resolute and forceful measures to defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Lai arrived late Saturday night in New York, as a transit point on his way to Paraguay to attend the inauguration of its new president, Santiago Peña.
