US forces were ordered to leave Taiwan immediately today following revelations that they are secretly training soldiers on the island.

China’s foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian issued the warning to Washington, accusing it of undermining the country’s sovereignty.

“The One China principle is the political foundation of China-US relations. The US must end diplomatic relations with Taiwan, dissolve its mutual defence treaty and US soldiers must leave Taiwan,” he said.
