Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on August 1 that China has repeatedly expressed its serious concerns and solemn position to the US that it firmly opposes House Speaker Pelosi's trip to Taiwan, stressing that if Pelosi goes to Taiwan will lead to serious consequences.
Zhao Lijian emphasized that we would like to warn the U.S. again that China is standing by and the Chinese People's Liberation Army will never sit idly by.
China will definitely take resolute and strong countermeasures to defend its own sovereignty and territorial integrity. What the US should do is to abide by the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques, fulfill President Biden's promise not to support "Taiwan independence", and not allow it. Arrange for Pelosi to visit Taiwan.
