On April 15, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian hosted a regular press conference.
A reporter asked questions about the US Congressional delegation's visit to Taiwan.
Zhao Lijian said that China's solemn position on the US congressional delegation's visit to Taiwan was clarified yesterday, and China firmly opposes any form of official exchanges between the US and Taiwan.
Zhao Lijian said that U.S. congressmen should abide by the one-China policy pursued by the U.S. government, abide by the one-China principle and the three Sino-U.S. joint communiques, and stop official exchanges between the U.S. and Taiwan. They should not make irresponsible remarks.
China will continue to take effective measures to resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
I believe everyone has noticed that the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army has issued a relevant statement. The relevant actions of the Chinese military are a countermeasure to the recent negative actions of the United States, including the visit of a congressional group to Taiwan.
