China will not tolerate any Taiwan independence incidents, a spokesman for its defence ministry said on Monday, urging the United States to deal appropriately with the issue.
The spokesman, Wu Qian, made the comments at a news briefing following a meeting of Chinese and US military officials on the sidelines of defence talks in the Thai capital of Bangkok.
