China continues to consider Taiwan a breakaway province, while the authorities in Taipei have repeatedly rejected Beijing's proposal to stick to the "one country, two systems" principle. The US, for its part, says it remains committed to the "One-China" policy, but is working to "support Taiwan's ability to defend itself".
China's Ambassador to the US Qin Gang has warned of serious repercussions from the ongoing tensions between Beijing and Washington over the future of Taiwan.
Speaking to the US public broadcaster National Public Radio(NPR), Gang described the Taiwan issue as "the biggest tinderbox between China and the United States".
"If the Taiwanese authorities, emboldened by the United States, keep going down the road for independence, it most likely will involve China and the United States, the two big countries, in the military conflict", Qin Gang argued.
