THE United States is using Taiwan to provoke a serious crisis in Asia, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko told TASS news agency in remarks published on Sunday, reiterating Moscow's backing of China's stance on Taiwan.
"We see that Washington, in violation of the 'one China' principle that it recognizes, is strengthening military-political contacts with Taipei under the slogan of maintaining the 'status quo' and increasing arms supplies," Rudenko told the state news agency.
