On the afternoon of August 2, Eastern Time, Ambassador Qin Gang lodged solemn representations to the National Security Council and the State Department of the White House over the visit of the US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan, China, and expressed strong protest.

  Qin Gang said that the US side brazenly arranged for Speaker of the House of Representatives Pelosi to visit Taiwan today in disregard of China's repeated solemn representations and firm opposition.

This is a major escalation of the negative moves of the United States on the Taiwan issue. It seriously violates the one-China principle and the three Sino-U.S. joint communiques. The "Taiwan independence" separatist forces have sent a serious wrong signal, which is extremely evil in nature, extremely harmful, and has extremely bad influence.

China strongly condemns and protests against it.

  Qin Gang pointed out that the one-China principle is the political foundation of Sino-US relations and the most fundamental adherence to handling the Taiwan issue.

As part of the US government, the US Congress should strictly abide by the US government's one-China policy and refrain from any official exchanges with Taiwan.

The US has repeatedly reiterated its commitment not to change the one-China policy and not to support "Taiwan independence".

Now the US has sent the government's No. 3 figure to visit Taiwan to provoke China.

What is the US's commitment to the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques?

What is the US commitment to not supporting "Taiwan independence"?

What about the US's commitment to international obligations?

Facts have proved that it is none other than the United States that is perfidious, causing crises, and undermining the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait!

  Qin Gang emphasized that resolutely safeguarding China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity is the firm will of the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people.

The final reunification of China is an irresistible historical trend, and the Chinese people cannot be bullied!

The Chinese nation cannot be humiliated!

Any attempt to interfere and obstruct China's reunification will fail!

China will definitely take resolute and strong countermeasures, and the US and the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces must be responsible for all serious consequences.

  Qin Gang emphasized that China solemnly urges the United States to stop playing the "Taiwan card" and engage in "Taiwan to control China," immediately correct its wrongdoing, control and eliminate the bad influence of Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, and refrain from further dangerous and provocative actions that violate China's sovereignty and sovereignty. Safety, and implement President Biden's "Four No One Unintentional" commitments with practical actions.
