BEIJING (Reuters) - China said on Tuesday it had lodged a protest with the United States over President Barack Obama's signing of legislation expressing U.S. support for Taiwan's campaign to attend meetings of a U.N. civil aviation body.

The bill supporting Taiwan's bid for observer status with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a U.N. agency that promotes safe air travel, easily passed both chambers of the U.S. Congress in June.
