China is responding sternly to a U.S. congressional delegation’s visit to Taiwan, demanding the U.S. stop any official contact with the self-governing island.

This dates back to the 1940s, when we were supporting the KMT and the KMT and the Chinese Communist Party were fighting for control of China, before the KMT bailed out to Taiwan. I’m pretty sure that in the 80 years or so since then, the Chinese Communist Party has probably objected to the US supporting them many, many times.
China has had many “final” warnings, there’s even a Wikipedia page on how it was a common phrase in Soviet households for an empty threat
So, they probably have a “lol, nah” form letter ready to go. That would save a lot of time.
