China News Service, Beijing, May 23 (Xie Yanbing) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin hosted a regular press conference on May 23.
A reporter asked a question about "US President Biden said during his visit to Japan that if China launched an action against Taiwan, the US would intervene militarily."
Wang Wenbin: China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to the US's remarks.
Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affairs, and no external forces can interfere. China has no room for compromise on issues concerning China's core interests such as sovereignty and territorial integrity.
No one should underestimate the strong determination, firm will, and strong ability of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and do not stand against the 1.4 billion Chinese people.
We urge the U.S. side to earnestly abide by the one-China principle and the three Sino-U.S. joint communiques, abide by the important commitments on not supporting "Taiwan independence", be cautious in words and deeds on the Taiwan issue, and refrain from sending any wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, so as to avoid Serious damage to the situation in the Taiwan Strait and Sino-US relations.
China will take firm actions to safeguard its own sovereignty and security interests, and we will do what we say.
