On August 2, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, disregarded China's strong opposition and solemn representations, and visited Taiwan, China. China's sovereignty and territorial integrity have seriously undermined the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait and sent a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.

The Chinese side firmly opposes and strongly condemns this, and has lodged solemn representations and strong protests with the US side.

  There is only one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the government of the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing the whole of China.

Resolution 2758 of the UN General Assembly in 1971 made this clear.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, 181 countries have established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of the one-China principle.

The one-China principle is the general consensus of the international community and the basic norm of international relations.

  In 1979, the United States made a clear commitment in the communique on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, "The United States of America recognizes the government of the People's Republic of China as the sole legal government of China. Within this scope, the American people will maintain cultural, commercial and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan." As an integral part of the U.S. government, the U.S. Congress should strictly abide by the one-China policy of the U.S. government and refrain from any official exchanges with the Taiwan region of China.

China has always opposed US congressmen visiting Taiwan, and the US executive has the responsibility to prevent it.

Speaker Pelosi is the current leader of the U.S. Congress. Her visit to Taiwan in any form and for any reason is a major political provocation to escalate official exchanges between the U.S. and Taiwan. China will never accept it, and the Chinese people will never agree to it.

  The Taiwan issue is the most important, core and sensitive issue in Sino-US relations.

At present, the situation in the Taiwan Strait is facing a new round of tension and severe challenges. The fundamental reason is that the Taiwan authorities and the United States are constantly changing the status quo.

The Taiwan authorities have repeatedly "relyed on the United States to seek independence", refused to recognize the "1992 Consensus", carried out "de-Sinicization" and promoted "gradual Taiwan independence".

The US side is trying to "use Taiwan to control China", constantly distorting and hollowing out the one-China principle, strengthening official exchanges between the United States and Taiwan, and supporting the "Taiwan independence" separatist activities.

This is a very dangerous act of playing with fire, and those who play with fire will set themselves on fire.

  The position of the Chinese government and Chinese people on the Taiwan issue has always been consistent.

Resolutely safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity is the firm will of the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, and realizing the complete reunification of the motherland is the common aspiration and sacred duty of all Chinese sons and daughters.

Public opinion cannot be violated, and the general trend is irreversible.

No country, any force, or anyone should misjudge the Chinese government and people's strong determination, firm will, and strong ability to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and achieve national reunification and national rejuvenation.

China will take all necessary measures to resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity in response to the US House Speaker's visit to Taiwan, China, and the US and the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces must be responsible for all the consequences.

  As two major countries, China and the United States can only get along with each other through mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, avoidance of confrontation, and win-win cooperation.

The Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affairs, and no other country has the right to be a judge on the Taiwan issue.

China solemnly urges the U.S. side to stop playing the "Taiwan card" to "use Taiwan to control China", stop interfering in Taiwan affairs and interfere in China's internal affairs, stop supporting and condoning "Taiwan independence" separatist forces in various forms, and stop talking and acting on the Taiwan issue. One set, stop distorting and hollowing out the one-China principle, abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiques with practical actions, and earnestly implement the "four non-no-no-no" commitments made by the US leaders, and don't make mistakes. And go further and further down the dangerous road.
