BEIJING (Reuters) -&nbsp;China&nbsp;expressed "strong dissatisfaction" to South Korea&nbsp;over&nbsp;its&nbsp;joint&nbsp;statement&nbsp;with the United States about the need for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, a foreign ministry&nbsp;statement&nbsp;said on Friday.
Department of Asian Affairs Director-General Liu Jinsong met with South Korean Embassy Minister Kang Sang-wook on Thursday evening to emphasise&nbsp;China's stance on Taiwan and urged South Korea to strictly adhere to the "One-China" principle, the ministry said.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is on a six-day visit to the United States, during which Yoon and President Joe Biden held talks that covered tensions between&nbsp;China&nbsp;and Taiwan and Chinese military activities in the South&nbsp;China&nbsp;Sea.
In a South Korea-U.S.&nbsp;joint&nbsp;statement, the presidents stressed the need for peace in the Taiwan Strait and said they opposed "any unilateral attempts to change the status quo in the Indo-Pacific, including through unlawful maritime claims, the militarization of reclaimed features, and coercive activities."
