China News Service, May 20, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, on May 20, US Secretary of State Pompeo issued a statement congratulating Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen on taking office, calling it the so-called "president" and bragging about the US-Taiwan partner relationship". Some US government officials and some US politicians sent video congratulations to Tsai Ing-wen. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the 20th that the above actions of the US seriously violated the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiques and seriously interfered in China's internal affairs. China expresses its strong indignation and condemns it.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out that there is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory. The Communique on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between China and the United States clearly states that the United States recognizes that the Government of the People ’s Republic of China is the sole legal government of China. Within this scope, the American people only maintain cultural, commercial and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan. The above-mentioned words and deeds of the United States seriously violate the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiques, openly violate the promises made by the U.S. government itself, send the wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, and seriously damage the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait and Sino-US relations.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the Taiwan issue concerns China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and involves China's core interests. The Chinese government and people are unswerving in their determination to oppose "Taiwan independence" separatist activities and safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. They are unswervingly determined to oppose any external forces to interfere in China's internal affairs, and their determination to achieve cross-strait reunification. We are telling the US that "Taiwan independence" is a dead end, and indulging and supporting "Taiwan independence" is doomed to failure. Any action that damages China's core interests and interferes in China's internal affairs will be vigorously countered by China, and will not stop the historical trend of China's reunification. China urges the US to immediately correct its mistakes, abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiques, stop official US-Taiwan exchanges and enhance substantive relations with Taiwan, stop interfering in China's internal affairs, and stop any words and deeds that harm the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait and Sino-US relations.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that China will take necessary countermeasures against the above-mentioned erroneous actions of the United States, and the resulting consequences shall be borne by the United States.
