China’s foreign ministry announced that it had lodged a “stern representation” with the United States to complain about the recent visit to Taiwan by Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb.

“China firmly opposes official U.S. exchanges with the Taiwan region in any form and under any name, and has made serious démarches to the U.S. on Indiana Governor Holcomb’s visit to Taiwan,” the ministry said in a statement released through state-owned media outlet Global Times.
