China’s foreign ministry has criticised a brief US visit by Taiwan vice president William Lai, saying he was a separatist and “troublemaker through and through” and Beijing would take strong steps to protect its sovereignty.

Lai, a frontrunner to be Taiwan’s next president at elections in January, arrived in New York late on Saturday for what is officially a transit on his way to Paraguay for the inauguration of its president.

China, which claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, has repeatedly denounced Lai’s trip. It includes another stopover in San Francisco on Wednesday on his way back to Taipei.

In a statement issued on Sunday shortly after Lai landed in New York on a scheduled flight from Taipei, China’s foreign ministry said it opposed any form of visit by “Taiwan independence separatists” to the US.

“Lai stubbornly adheres to the separatist position of Taiwan independence and is a troublemaker through and through,” the ministry said.

Taiwan is the “core of China’s core interests” and facts have shown again and again that the reason for the rise in tensions in the Taiwan Strait is Taiwan trying to “rely on the United States to seek independence”, it said.

“China is closely following developments and will take resolute and vigorous measures to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

China has a particular dislike of Lai, who has previously described himself as a “practical worker for Taiwan independence”, though he has repeatedly said on the campaign trail he is not seeking to change the status quo, but that only Taiwan’s people can decide their future.

A person familiar with the trip’s planning said Lai will join receptions with overseas Taiwanese during the stopover in New York, during which he will make a speech.

He will not meet US lawmakers, the person said, adding Lai will keep the visit “low key”, in line with Taipei and Washington’s shared position to “jointly manage risks when facing an authoritarian region at this sensitive time”.

Lai, greeted by supporters waving flags as he arrived at his New York hotel, wrote on social media platform X he was “looking forward to seeing friends and attending transit programs in New York”.

Laura Rosenberger, chair of the American Institute in Taiwan , a US government-run non-profit that carries out unofficial relations with Taiwan, said on X that she would meet Lai in San Francisco.

China is likely to launch military drills this week near Taiwan, using Lai’s US stopovers as a pretext to intimidate voters ahead of a next year’s election and make them “fear war,” Taiwanese officials say.

On Sunday, the Eastern Theatre Command of China’s People’s Liberation Army, which is responsible for the area around Taiwan, posted on its WeChat account a short video of fighter jets practising dog fights at an undisclosed location, saying its forces had recently been engaged in “high-intensity flight training”.

Lai’s transits come as Beijing and Washington are trying to improve relations.

That includes the prospect of a visit to the US by Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi, which could pave the way for a meeting between president Joe Biden and China’s leader Xi Jinping this year.

China has stepped up its military activities around Taiwan over the past three years, seeking to force the island into accepting Beijing’s sovereignty.

In April, China staged war games around Taiwan in an angry response to Taiwan president Tsai Ing-wen meeting US house speaker Kevin McCarthy in California on a stopover on the way back to Taipei after her visit to Central America.
