US interfering in Taiwan to generate crisis in Asia: Russia

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko said the goal of US interference in Taiwan's affairs is "to provoke China and generate a crisis in Asia". "We see that Washington, in violation of the 'one China' principle that it recognises, is strengthening military-political contacts with Taipei under the slogan of maintaining the 'status quo', and increasing arms supplies," Rudenko added.
