China will not tolerate any Taiwan independence incidents, a spokesman for its defense 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 U.S. military officials on the sidelines of defense talks in the Thai capital of Bangkok.

The defense ministry of self-ruled Taiwan said a Chinese carrier ship passed through the Taiwan Strait on Sunday, tiled by the U.S. and Japanese ships. China has never ruled out the use of force to reunite what it regards as a wayward province.
