Q: On August 5, the spokesperson of the White House National Security Council said that the head of the White House National Security Council summoned Chinese Ambassador to the US Qin Gang on August 4 to condemn China's military exercises in the Taiwan Strait.
What is China's response?
A: On August 4th, when Ambassador Qin Gang met with officials of the National Security Council of the White House, he sternly dismissed the unreasonable accusations made by the US on China's series of military countermeasures.
Ambassador Qin pointed out that the US side insisted on arranging House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan in disregard of China's repeated warnings in advance, which seriously undermined the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait and Sino-US relations.
The responsibility for the current situation lies entirely with the United States. More than 160 countries and international organizations, including ASEAN and other regional countries, have criticized Pelosi's visit to Taiwan and reiterated their adherence to the one-China principle.
The U.S. falsely accuses China of escalating tensions.
Facts have proved that the US is the troublemaker for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and the region.
Ambassador Qin emphasized that the Chinese military's series of military countermeasures in the waters near Taiwan Island are necessary and legitimate measures to deter "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Chinese people must believe what they say and do what they do.
Ambassador Qin said that the U.S. side should earnestly abide by its commitment to adhere to the one-China policy and not support "Taiwan independence", and take immediate measures to correct its mistakes and eliminate the bad influence of Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, instead of taking escalating actions that will further aggravate the situation in the Taiwan Strait and Sino-U.S. relations. nervous.
