China News Service, Beijing, April 8 (Reporter Liang Xiaohui) In response to the U.S. State Department’s claim that China is "intimidating" in the Taiwan Strait, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian asked at a regular press conference on the 8th: Could it be that Chinese warships go to the Gulf of Mexico to show off Yet?

He emphasized that China has never intended to intimidate anyone, but it is not afraid of intimidation; China does not want to intimidate anyone, but the intimidation of anyone is useless.

　　A reporter asked questions. According to reports, on the 7th, US State Department Spokesperson Price stated that the United States is deeply concerned about China’s continuous “intimidation” actions in the Taiwan Strait. The United States is capable of resisting any force or other forms that may endanger Taiwan’s security. The "coercion".

On the same day, the US Navy issued a statement stating that the guided missile destroyer "McCain" routinely sailed through the Taiwan Strait that day.

The U.S. military will continue to fly over, sail, and move anywhere permitted by international law.

What is China's comment?

　　Zhao Lijian responded that the US falsely claimed that China was engaging in so-called "intimidation" and "coercion."

This hat is definitely not on China's head.

　　"First, on the Taiwan issue, who is intimidating and intimidating?" Zhao Lijian pointed out that 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.

The one-China principle is the political foundation of Sino-US relations, and it is also the clear promise made by the US to China in the three Sino-US joint communiqués. It is an insurmountable red line.

Recently, US ships have repeatedly "showed their muscles" in the Taiwan Strait, provoked and disrupted the situation, sending serious wrong signals to "Taiwan independence" forces, threatening peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.

　　"What I want to ask is, did the Chinese warship go to the Gulf of Mexico to show off its power?" Zhao Lijian said.

　　"Second, who is intimidating and intimidating on a global scale? Where is the United States satisfied with intimidation and intimidation?" Zhao Lijian pointed out that the United States has not fought in 16 years in its nearly 250-year history and has more than 800 overseas countries worldwide. Military bases rank first in the world for military expenditures for years, accounting for about 40% of total global military expenditures.

It is reported that in the 30 years after the Cold War, the United States has participated in as many as 228 wars and military interventions.

Back then, the United States used a bottle of washing powder and a posing video as evidence, and fought against the sovereign states of Iraq and Syria, causing countless civilian casualties and the breakdown of countless families.

The United States also frequently wields a big stick of sanctions and imposes unilateral and illegal sanctions on other sovereign countries.

A high-level US official once said, "We have made mistakes, but face the challenge instead of avoiding it."

Then the first thing the United States should do is to apologize to the Iraqi and Syrian people and assume relevant responsibilities.

　　"What I want to ask is, if this is not done, why should the United States say'face the challenge, not avoid it'?" Zhao Lijian said.

　　He emphasized that China has never intended to intimidate anyone, but it is not afraid of intimidation; China does not want to intimidate anyone, but the intimidation of anyone is useless.

China has a firm will and sufficient ability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The U.S. should fully understand the high sensitivity of the Taiwan issue, abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-U.S. joint communiqu "The forces send out any wrong signals so as not to seriously damage their own interests and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
