On August 10, Ambassador Zheng Zeguang met with senior officials of the UK Department of Foreign Affairs and Development, and once again made solemn representations on the UK's wrong words and deeds on the Taiwan issue, and resolutely rejected the UK's unreasonable accusations.
Ambassador Zheng pointed out that the UK disregards the facts, confuses right and wrong, and makes irresponsible remarks about China's legitimate and necessary measures to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
China firmly opposes and strongly condemns it.
Ambassador Zheng stressed that Taiwan is a province of China and the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affairs.
The Chinese military's military exercises in the sea and airspace near Taiwan Island of China are legitimate and necessary actions to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
No country has the right to make irresponsible remarks about it.
The UK has no right or right to accuse China!
Ambassador Zheng pointed out, who is the instigator of the recent tension in the Taiwan Strait?
The US, together with the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, planned and provoked this tension across the Taiwan Strait.
Pelosi's visit to Taiwan as the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives is by no means a so-called "normal" or "routine" visit. This move seriously violates the one-China principle and the three Sino-U.S. joint communiques, and seriously violates the basic norms of international relations. , seriously violated China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and seriously undermined the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait.
The US and the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces are the perpetrators.
They provoked first, and China countered.
Instead of condemning the perpetrators, the British side blamed the Chinese side, which is extremely absurd and shameless!
In the face of malicious provocations by the United States and the "Taiwan independence" forces, China has the full right to take all necessary measures to oppose foreign interference, curb the separatist plot of "Taiwan independence", and firmly safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Ambassador Zheng pointed out, who is the destroyer of the status quo in the Taiwan Strait?
Who is threatening the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait?
The United States continues to play the "Taiwan card", engage in "Taiwan to control China", sell weapons to Taiwan, enhance the substantive relationship between the United States and Taiwan, distort and hollow out the one-China principle, and support the "Taiwan independence" separatist activities; The United States seeks independence", refuses to recognize the "1992 Consensus", engages in "de-Sinicization", and stubbornly promotes the gradual "Taiwan independence".
Isn't this changing the status quo across the Taiwan Strait and threatening peace across the Taiwan Strait?
The US and Taiwan authorities must take full responsibility for their own mistakes.
If the UK really cares about the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait, it should condemn the US and Taiwan authorities and stop them from provoking and "playing with fire", and it should restrain the UK's own words and deeds, and not send wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" forces, let alone China. Legitimate measures to defend its own sovereignty and territorial integrity point fingers.
Ambassador Zheng pointed out, who is the destroyer of regional and world peace?
The international community has long had a public opinion on this.
China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order.
When it comes to peace and security, China has the best record as a major power and is the most peaceful member of the UN Security Council.
We never started a war.
China's development is the development of peaceful forces and the enhancement of stability factors.
On the contrary, the United Kingdom and the United States should reflect on themselves. You are showing off your power everywhere in the world, carrying out armed intervention and aggression at will, and creating various evil consequences for many parts of the world.
Ambassador Zheng emphasized that the one-China principle is a universally recognized basic norm in international relations and a general consensus of the international community. It is the political foundation for China's exchanges with other countries and an insurmountable red line.
The Chinese people will never agree to any act that violates the one-China principle and fuels the arrogance of the "Taiwan independence" forces, and will respond vigorously.
No one should underestimate the strong determination, firm will and strong ability of the Chinese government and people to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity and achieve national reunification and national rejuvenation.
Anyone who wants to play the "Taiwan card" and "use Taiwan to control China" will only end in failure.
The farce of Pelosi's visit to Taiwan will not affect the historical trend of Taiwan's return at all, nor will it change the international consensus of one China in the slightest, nor will it stop the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Ambassador Zheng pointed out that the British side clearly recognized China's position that Taiwan is a province of China in the Sino-British Joint Communiqué issued 50 years ago, and promised to maintain only unofficial relations with Taiwan.
It must be emphasized that whether it is the so-called "aiding Taiwan's self-defense" or sending parliamentarians to visit Taiwan, they all seriously violate the one-China principle and the provisions of the Sino-British Joint Communiqué, seriously interfere in China's internal affairs, and will inevitably bring serious consequences to China-UK relations.
The British side is clear about this.
The Chinese side urges the UK side to abide by its commitments, not to "play with fire" with the United States, not to develop any form of official contact or military cooperation with Taiwan, to stop making claims for the United States and the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, and stop any interference. The words and deeds of China's internal affairs.
