3 min read. UNITED NATIONS - The United States tweeted its support for Taiwan's participation in the United Nations Friday, provoking a sharp response from China expressing "Strong indignation and firm opposition."

The spokesperson for China's U.N. Mission called the U.S. Mission tweet "a serious violation" of the General Assembly resolution that gave China the U.N. seat, three U.S.-China joint communiques and China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

"There is only one China in the world. The government of the People's Republic China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China."
