China says there will be "no room for negotiation" in its demand that U.S. airlines describe self-ruled Taiwan as part of China ahead of a deadline this week.
Beijing has insisted that carriers change references to Taiwan on their websites to "Taiwan, China" by tomorrow.
Taiwan separated from China amid civil war in 1949 but Beijing continues to claim it as its own territory and has used its economic clout to isolate the island.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said today that China hopes the U.S. government will urge businesses to follow China's requirements.
He did not specify how China would punish defiant carriers, saying only that it will "wait and see."
The White House has previously criticized the Chinese demand as "Orwellian nonsense."
