On August 4, 2022, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Deng Li was instructed to urgently summon relevant European countries and EU envoys to China to make solemn representations on the negative Taiwan-related statement issued by the G7 foreign ministers and the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
Deng Li said that the foreign ministers of the G7 countries and the EU high representative for foreign affairs and security policy issued a negative statement on Taiwan last night. This act of distorting the facts and confounding right and wrong is completely wanton interference in China's internal affairs, blatant political provocation, and split towards "Taiwan independence". The forces have sent a serious wrong signal and the nature is extremely vicious. China firmly opposes this and lodged solemn representations and strong protests.
Deng Li pointed out that the one-China principle is the universally recognized basic norm of international relations and the general consensus of the international community.
The one-China principle has strict connotations, that is, there is only one China in the world, Taiwan is a part of China, and the government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China.
Deng Li pointed out that Pelosi's visit to Taiwan is a blatant political manipulation and a blatant and serious violation of China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
In response to the US-Taiwan collusion and provocation, China's counterattack is only natural.
Not only did the EU not dissuade and condemn the US for inciting to split China, aggravating tensions in the Taiwan Strait, and "using Taiwan to control China", it also falsely claimed in its statement that it "will abide by the one-China policy when applicable," which seriously violates the one-China principle. , seriously impacting the political foundation of bilateral relations.
Deng Li emphasized that public opinion cannot be violated. The Taiwan issue is related to the national sentiment of the Chinese people. Safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity is one of the biggest consensus of the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people.
We are willing to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity, patience and best efforts, but will also prevent the country from splitting with the strongest determination, using all means and at any cost.
No country, any force, or anyone should misjudge the Chinese government and people's strong determination, firm will, and strong ability to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and achieve national reunification and national rejuvenation!
