China has made a submission to the US because of an error of the press service of the White house
BEIJING, 10 Aug — RIA Novosti, Anna was Raccogli. China has made a submission to the US due to the fact that the White house in a statement following the meeting, the leaders of China and the United States in Hamburg, named XI Jinping the “head of the Republic of China,” said foreign Ministry spokesman China Geng Shuang.
Edition of the Washington Post previously reported that immediately after the bilateral meeting of US President Donald trump with XI Jinping on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Hamburg, the White house issued a press release in which the Chinese leader was named “head of the Republic of China” (Taiwan authorities call their island).
“As far as I know, China in this regard has already made a representation to the American side, they apologized for this technical error and made the appropriate fix,” said the Chinese diplomat.
The policy of “one China” implies the recognition of the existence in the world only one Chinese state, despite the fact that in addition to the PRC by the name of the Republic of China also claims the island of Taiwan. Chinese authorities believe Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory.
The press service of the White house is not the first time allow such mistakes. So, in one of the January message in the name of the British Prime Minister Theresa may was missing a letter, and in February, the press Secretary of the White house Sean Spicer confused the name of the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau, calling him Joe.
