A visit by a pair of U.S. senators to Taiwan has drawn criticism from China, which claims the island as its own and objects to any contact between officials of the two sides.
The visit runs parallel to US President Donald Trump's contentious trade talks with China, which claims Taiwan as its own territory under the 'One China' policy.
Sen. Roger Wicker, visiting Taiwan, called the island claimed by China a "free country." Beijing condemned the visit itself as a "serious violation" of bilateral pacts.
