Q: On August 19, US Ambassador to China Burns said in an interview with CNN that China's overreaction on the issue of House Speaker Pelosi's visit to Taiwan has become an unstable factor in the Taiwan Strait, leading to a crisis in Sino-US relations.

He also mentioned that Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng summoned Pelosi after his plane arrived in Taiwan, and the two sides had a fierce confrontation.

what opinions do the Chinese have on this issue?

  A: The remarks made by Ambassador Burns confuse right and wrong, and once again exposed the rhetoric and hegemonic logic of the US side.

  Before the US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan, China made solemn representations to the US many times at various levels, repeatedly emphasizing the seriousness and harmfulness of Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, and clearly pointed out that all the consequences arising therefrom shall be borne by the US side. Don't say it without notice.

  After Pelosi arrived in Taiwan, Vice Minister Xie Feng urgently summoned Ambassador Burns immediately and lodged stern representations and strong protests with the US on behalf of the Chinese government, pointing out that the US will go its own way and must pay the price for its own mistakes and that they must be corrected immediately. Take practical measures to eliminate the bad influence of Pelosi's channeling.

  However, instead of repenting, the U.S. side beat it.

Senior U.S. officials took turns taking turns, distorting the facts, trying to shirk responsibility for causing tension in the Taiwan Strait, and pouring dirty water on China.

  On the evening of August 8, Vice Minister Xie Feng once again summoned Ambassador Burns and lodged solemn representations on the US side's remarks on China's countermeasures against Pelosi's presence in Taiwan.

We pointed out that it was the US side, not China, who provoked the crisis; it was the US side, not China who changed the status quo of the Taiwan Strait; it was the US side, not China who undermined the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait; It is the US, not China, who sanctioned the big stick and bullied the world; it was the US, not China, who undermined the political foundation of China-US relations and had no sincerity in communication; it was the US, not China, that undermined China-US cooperation.

  The Chinese side emphasizes that it is clearly the U.S. who provoked the first and imposed an avoidable crisis on the Chinese people, but framed China to provoke the crisis. , but slandered China for changing the status quo; it was clearly the US that engaged in "gunboat diplomacy" at the door of China, but stigmatized and demonized China's legitimate, professional and transparent military exercises; And the dirty water of escalating tensions is poured on China; it is clear that the United States wantonly violated China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, trampled on China's bottom line, but slandered China for overreacting and creating a crisis.

The US has no bottom line!

It's not that China is irresponsible, it's that Pelosi is extremely irresponsible, and the US government is extremely irresponsible.

  I would like to reiterate that the one-China principle is at the core of China's core interests.

No country, any force, or anyone should underestimate the strong determination, firm will and strong ability of the Chinese government and people to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, achieve national reunification and national rejuvenation.

China once again urges the US to abide by the basic norms of international relations that respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries and non-interference in internal affairs, return to the one-China principle and the correct path stipulated in the three Sino-US joint communiques, and stop all words and deeds that harm China's core interests.
