The U.S. has voiced opposition to the passage of China’s anti-secession law, according to the Courier-Mail:
THE US today branded “unfortunate” China’s adoption of a law giving its military the legal basis to attack Taiwan if the island moves towards independence.
“We view the adoption of the anti-secession law as unfortunate. It does not serve the purpose of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait,” White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters.
Meanwhile, a Xinhua headline says, “Syria supports China’s anti-secession law.”
