In response to the US-Taiwan changes, Hua Chunying uses "chess pieces" as a metaphor to draw the "red line" between China and the United States

　　China News Agency, Beijing, April 2 (Reporter Zhang Su) In response to an inquiry at a regular press conference on the 2nd, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said that he has noticed many recent changes between the United States and Taiwan.

She reiterated that the one-China principle is the political foundation of Sino-US relations and an insurmountable red line.

　　According to reports, US State Department spokesperson Price said at a press conference on the 1st that the United States is committed to deepening relations with Taiwan.

Taiwan is an important economic and security partner of the United States, and the United States will continue to engage with Taiwan in a manner consistent with the one-China policy.

The United States will continue to consider the opportunity for high-level visits between the United States and Taiwan to promote unofficial relations between the United States and Taiwan.

A reporter asked what China has commented on this.

　　When Hua Chunying answered, first mentioned the changes between the United States and Taiwan.

For example, in order to make small moves, the US ambassador did not hesitate to become a member of the Palau delegation.

　　"Does the above-mentioned actions of the US really care about the people of Taiwan? Or is it just using Taiwan as a pawn to achieve its purpose of containing China?" She said, the intention is clear at a glance.

　　Hua Chunying emphasized that China's position on the Taiwan issue is consistent and clear.

There is only one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory, and the government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China. This is a basic fact recognized by the international community.

　　She pointed out that the Taiwan issue is the most important and sensitive issue in Sino-US relations.

The one-China principle is the political foundation of Sino-US relations and an insurmountable red line.

China urges the US to fully understand the high sensitivity of the Taiwan issue, abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, change the dangerous practices of the previous administration of “crossing the line” and “playing with fire”, and stop any form of official exchanges between the US and Taiwan. Handle Taiwan-related issues carefully and properly, and refrain from sending any wrong signals to "Taiwan independence" forces, so as not to seriously damage Sino-US relations and the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait.
