The United States should handle the Taiwan issue with caution and take concrete steps to support the overall relationship between China and the US, as well as regional peace and stability, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said.

Mao made the remarks at a regular press conference on October 12. She said China has an exclusive economic zone and continental shelf in the waters east of Taiwan Island.

China's activities in those waters fall within its sovereign rights and jurisdiction and are lawful, she said.

Mao said China was not the party provoking incidents or undermining stability in the area. She described the Taiwan issue as China's internal affair and said it should not be subject to outside interference.

The spokesperson urged the US to uphold the one-China principle and the three joint communiqués between China and the United States.
