China urges US to 'correct its mistakes' after State Department removes Taiwan web reference

China urged the United States to "correct its mistakes" after the State Department removed wording about Taiwan independence from its website.
The U.S. State Department updated its Taiwan fact sheet, keeping its opposition to changes from Taiwan or China, but omitting the phrase "we do not support Taiwan independence."
The updated page includes a reference to Taiwan's cooperation with a Pentagon project and mentions support for Taiwan's membership in international organizations.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun criticized the updates, calling them a big step backwards that sends a seriously wrong message.
