Beijing has rebuked Taiwanese Vice President William Lai as a "troublemaker" over his visit to the United States on his way to Paraguay and accused his administration of using the trip to "solicit" U.S. support for independence.

🗣"China deplores and strongly condemns the U.S. decision to arrange the so-called stopover for Lai Ching-te. Lai clings stubbornly to the separatist position for 'Taiwan independence'. He is a troublemaker through and through," China's foreign ministry spokesperson said.

The spokesperson added that China "firmly opposes any form of official interaction" between the United States and Taiwan.
