    The key to Sino-US relations lies in whether the United States can properly handle the Taiwan issue, said Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan at a press conference in Beijing Thursday.

    Tang said that China's position on Taiwan issue is clear-cut and consistent.

    "In promoting the development of Sino-US relations," he said, "the two sides should treat bilateral relations from a long-term and strategic perspective, deepen mutual understanding and trust while recognizing differences."
