In the middle of the night of August 2, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng was ordered to urgently summon Burns, the US ambassador to China, to lodge solemn representations and strong protests to the US on behalf of the Chinese government over US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan.
Xie Feng said that Pelosi took the risk of the world and deliberately provoked and played with fire, which seriously violated the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiques. The Taiwan Strait is peaceful and stable, sending a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.
The nature is extremely bad, and the consequences are extremely serious.
China will never sit idly by.
Xie Feng pointed out that the US government must take responsibility.
For a period of time, the US has said one thing does another, and has continuously distorted, tampered with, falsified, and hollowed out the one-China principle.
The U.S. government should have restrained Pelosi from acting recklessly and stopped Pelosi from doing reckless behavior, but it has allowed it to indulge, ganging up, aggravating tensions across the Taiwan Strait, and seriously damaging China-U.S. relations.
Xie Feng said that the US must pay for its mistakes.
China will take necessary measures to resolutely countermeasures, and we will do what we say.
Anyone who attempts to manipulate the Taiwan issue to gain political capital will only "get nothing out of the basket" and fantasize about playing the "Taiwan card" to concoct a political legacy, which will eventually be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
Xie Feng asked the U.S. side to immediately correct its mistakes and take practical measures to eliminate the bad influence of Pelosi's escapades.
Once again urge the U.S. side to stop provoking troubles and provocations on the Taiwan issue, stop condoning separatist forces that support "Taiwan independence", stop playing the "Taiwan card" in any form, and "use Taiwan to control China", stop interfering in Taiwan affairs, and interfere in China's internal affairs. And go further and further down the dangerous road.
Xie Feng emphasized that the general trend is irreversible and public opinion cannot be violated. Playing with fire will surely set yourself on fire.
Taiwan is China's Taiwan, and will eventually return to the embrace of the motherland.
The Chinese people are not afraid of ghosts, oppression, or belief in evil.
No country, any force, or anyone should underestimate the strong determination, firm will and strong ability of the Chinese government and people to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, achieve national reunification and national rejuvenation.
