China News Service, Beijing, May 10 (Xie Yanbing and Xing Chong) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian hosted a regular press conference on May 10.
A reporter asked: The U.S. State Department website updated and revised the "Facts List of U.S.-Taiwan Relations" on May 5.
What is China's comment?
Zhao Lijian: There is only one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the government of the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing the whole of China.
History cannot be tampered with, facts cannot be denied, and right and wrong cannot be distorted.
The United States has made solemn commitments on the Taiwan issue and the one-China principle in the three Sino-US joint communiqués. The revision of the "fact list of US-Taiwan relations" is a petty move to hollow out the one-China principle. Manipulating and trying to change the status quo across the Taiwan Strait will surely lead to fire.
The US should abide by the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques, abide by the political commitments it made to China on the Taiwan issue, implement President Biden's statement that the US does not support "Taiwan independence", and stop using Taiwan-related issues to engage in politics. Manipulate, "use Taiwan to control China".
