China News Agency, Beijing, August 3 (Chen Xiaoyuan Zhu He) In response to the US House of Representatives Speaker Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, Ni Yongjie, executive deputy director of the Shanghai Taiwan Research Institute and editor-in-chief of the "Taiwan Strait Research" magazine, was interviewed by a reporter from China News Agency on the 3rd. Pelosi said that Pelosi sent a wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" forces, intensified tensions across the Taiwan Strait and harmed Taiwan compatriots, but it was impossible to stop the general trend of cross-strait reunification.

  Ni Yongjie believes that, despite the strong opposition from the mainland, Pelosi insisted on visiting Taiwan in order to gain personal interests and the interests of the US Democratic Party. This is also the logical conclusion of the US government's definition of China as its biggest competitor and a comprehensive "Taiwan to control China".

  Ni Yongjie pointed out that the US Congress will hold mid-term elections at the end of this year, and the Democratic Party may lose its majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Therefore, from the perspective of electoral interests, the Democratic Party hopes to cater to the anti-Chinese populist sentiment in the United States through Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, show a tougher stance than the Republican Party, and add points to the Democratic Party's election, so as to win more seats for the Democratic Party in Congress and keep it. Pelosi's Speakership continues to enjoy power resources.

  Ni Yongjie said that although the US President, the State Department, the White House and the military all believed that Pelosi's visit to Taiwan was "not a good idea", the United States has now regarded mainland China as a systemic competition object, and has used the government, society Wait for forces in various fields to suppress and contain them.

  Ni Yongjie believes that Pelosi's visit to Taiwan is the inevitable outcome of the US government's long-term playing of the "Taiwan card", and is part of the US strategy towards China.

Pelosi, as the No. 3 U.S. political figure, has political implications and reflects the trend of U.S. China policy to a certain extent.

No matter what reason, identity, or where he travels to Taiwan, no matter what he says, who he sees, or what he does on the island, there will be serious consequences.

  Ni Yongjie believes that China and the United States need to manage differences and risks. Nowadays, differences are difficult to resolve, risks are escalating, and small frictions may lead to major conflicts.

At the same time, Pelosi sent a wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" forces, which further stimulated the DPP authorities to "rely on the United States to seek independence" and rely on foreigners to carry out "Taiwan independence" separatist activities against the United States, increasing tensions across the Taiwan Strait.

  Ni Yongjie said that American politicians playing the "Taiwan card" are unpopular, and compatriots on both sides of the strait are firmly opposed.

Putting the situation in the Taiwan Strait at the most dangerous edge, seriously challenging the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait, and seriously harming the interests of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, especially the compatriots in Taiwan, the United States should bear the responsibility.

  Ni Yongjie also said that since the DPP authorities came to power, they have refused to recognize the "1992 Consensus", pursued the policy of "pro-US and anti-mainland", and "decoupling and cutting off" with the mainland, especially in recent years to restrict and suppress cross-strait exchanges and cooperation on the grounds of epidemic prevention. , trying to "rely on the United States to seek independence".

This goes against the will of the compatriots on both sides of the strait to seek peace and development, and also goes against the historical general trend of the inevitable reunification of the two sides of the strait, and is unpopular.

  Ni Yongjie believes that people of insight in Taiwan clearly oppose Taiwan acting as a "pawn" and "cannon fodder" for the United States.

The DPP authorities set themselves on fire and ultimately could not succeed.

The "Taiwan independence" separatist forces miscalculated the situation and could not stop the general trend of cross-strait reunification.

  Ni Yongjie emphasized that the mainland's determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity and ensure that national sovereignty, security and development interests are not damaged is firm and rock-solid, and the determination and ability to oppose "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and foreign forces' interference in China's internal affairs are growing. The stronger it is, the time, power, righteousness and principles are all on the side that supports the reunification of the motherland.
