Zhao Lijian held a regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on August 1.
Q: A reporter from Reuters asked that Pelosi is expected to visit Southeast Asian and East Asian countries this week. What is China's comment?
A: The Chinese side has expressed its firm opposition to the serious concern and solemn position of House Speaker Pelosi going to Taiwan on many occasions recently, stressing that if Pelosi goes to Taiwan, it will lead to serious consequences.
During the phone call with President Biden, President Xi Jinping emphasized that the position of the Chinese government and the Chinese people on the Taiwan issue is consistent, and resolutely safeguarding China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity is the firm will of the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people .
Public opinion cannot be violated, Playing with fire will set yourself on fire.
It is believed that the US has fully understood the strong and clear message sent by China.
If Pelosi goes to Taiwan, it will be a gross interference in China's internal affairs, seriously undermining China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, wantonly trampling on the one-China principle, seriously threatening the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait, and seriously damaging Sino-US relations have led to very serious events and consequences.
We want to once again warn the U.S. side that China is standing by, and the Chinese People's Liberation Army will never sit idly by. China will definitely take resolute responses and strong countermeasures to safeguard its own sovereignty and territorial integrity.
What the U.S. should do is to abide by the one-China principle and the three Sino-U.S. joint communiques, honor President Biden's promise not to support Taiwan independence, and not arrange for Pelosi to visit Taiwan.
