Provide support, which also includes network security.

What is China's comment?

　　Zhao Lijian stated that the so-called "Taiwan Relations Act" of the US seriously violates the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués. In essence, the US domestic law overrides international obligations and is illegal and invalid.

Regarding the Taiwan issue, what the United States should abide by is the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués, rather than something unilaterally made by the United States.

What really hurts cross-strait relations is the interference of "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and external forces.

　　Zhao Lijian emphasized that China has always resolutely opposed and cracked down on cyber attacks in any form.

As we all know, the United States is the notorious "Matrix."

The United States should stop thieves calling out to catch thieves and inciting cross-strait confrontation, and strictly abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, so as not to seriously damage Sino-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
