  A reporter asked questions. According to reports, US Pentagon Press Secretary Kirby told reporters on Tuesday that China has increased intimidation and oppression of Taiwan and other partners and allies, including intensifying military activities near Taiwan, the East China Sea and the South China Sea. This has undermined regional stability. Can increase the risk of misjudgment.

What is China's comment?

  Zhao Lijian said that with the joint efforts of China and neighboring countries in the South China Sea, the situation in the South China Sea is generally stable.

The relevant US remarks seriously violated the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, deliberately using relevant issues to provoke relations between countries in the divorced region and sending out extremely wrong and irresponsible signals to the outside world. China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to this.

  He further pointed out that for a period of time, the U.S. has continued its passive actions in selling weapons to Taiwan and strengthening official military ties between the U.S. and Taiwan, including the introduction of a US$750 million weapons sale to Taiwan, U.S. aircraft landing on Taiwan Island, and frequent warships crossing the Taiwan Strait. Continuing to stir up trouble in the South China Sea and China's surrounding areas, show off its force, and artificially instigate geopolitical confrontation, this has fully exposed the true face of the United States as a destroyer of regional peace and stability, a spoiler of unity and cooperation, and a troublemaker.

  "We urge the U.S. to take China’s position and concerns seriously, strictly abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-U.S. joint communiqués, stop making irresponsible remarks on Taiwan and maritime issues, and do more to benefit China-U.S. relations and regional peace. Stable development." Zhao Lijian said.

  Another reporter asked questions. According to reports, on the 13th, the US President’s special envoy for Iran, Marley, stated that the United States will consider all options to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue and has communicated with China on sanctions against Iran.

Can China confirm?

Any comment on this?

  Zhao Lijian said that China has always believed that restoring the complete and effective implementation of the Iranian Nuclear Comprehensive Agreement is the only effective way to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue.

Facts have repeatedly proved that there is no way out of sanctions and pressure, and dialogue and consultation are the right way.

Iran has repeatedly reiterated its commitment to upholding the comprehensive agreement and its willingness to return to the negotiations for resuming the implementation of the agreement.

All parties concerned should respond to Iran’s reasonable demands with concrete actions, promote the resumption of negotiations at an early date, and strive for new progress.

  "I want to emphasize again that, as the initiator of the renewed tension in the Iranian nuclear situation, the United States should completely correct its wrong policy of'extreme pressure' on Iran, completely lift all illegal sanctions against Iran and'long-arm jurisdiction' measures against third parties, and must not be implemented. The new Iran-related sanctions will push the comprehensive agreement back on track as soon as possible.” Zhao Lijian said that the US side is very clear about China’s opposition to sanctions, and it also knows China’s determination to resolutely safeguard its legitimate interests.
