"We appreciate the reaffirmation made by President Bush and his
administration that the United States adheres to the one-China policy, abides by
the three Sino-US joint communiques and opposes 'Taiwan independence,'" Zhou
said.
He added China hopes that the United States strictly sticks to the
commitments it has made to China and works with China to oppose and contain the
"Taiwan independence" so as to safeguard peace and stability across the Taiwan
Straits.
Looking forward to 2006, Zhou saw broad space for the continuous development
of the Sino-US relationship, though he also cautioned that there would be a few
challenges ahead.
President Hu had accepted an invitation from Bush during
his China visit in November to visit the United States as soon as possible, and
a visit by the Chinese leader to the United States is of great importance and
will strengthen bilateral exchanges, confidence-building and co-operation
between the two nations, said the ambassador.
