The First Session of the 14th National People's Congress held a press conference on the 7th. Foreign Minister Qin Gang answered questions from Chinese and foreign journalists.

　　Phoenix Satellite TV reporter: Recently, some think tanks and officials in the United States have continued to hype the conflict between China and the United States in the Taiwan Strait. Some people even predict that the conflict will take place in 2027 or 2025.

There are also media reports that the United States has formulated a plan to "destroy Taiwan".

How do you view the current situation in the Taiwan Strait?

How much do you think the risk of Sino-US conflict in the Taiwan Strait is?

　　Qin Gang: I know that today I will definitely ask about the Taiwan question, and I will bring a copy of the "Constitution of the People's Republic of China".

Let me first quote two sentences from the preamble of the "Constitution of the People's Republic of China": "Taiwan is part of the sacred territory of the People's Republic of China. It is the sacred duty of all Chinese people, including Taiwan compatriots, to complete the great cause of reunifying the motherland." Solving Taiwan The problem is the Chinese people's own business, and no foreign country has the right to interfere.

Recently, a senior US official claimed that the Taiwan issue is not China's internal affairs. We firmly oppose and remain highly vigilant against this.

　　Qin Gang: For both sides of the strait, we all have a home called China.

As fellow citizens of the same flesh and blood, we will continue to achieve the peaceful reunification of the motherland with the greatest sincerity and best efforts.

At the same time, the option to take all necessary measures remains open.

China's "Anti-Secession Law" clearly stipulates this.

If there is a violation of the law, we must act in accordance with the law of the constitution.

No one should underestimate the strong determination, firm will and strong ability of the Chinese government and Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

　　Qin Gang: The Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests, the foundation of the political foundation of Sino-US relations, and the first red line that cannot be crossed in Sino-US relations.

The United States bears the inescapable responsibility for the Taiwan issue.

The reason why we discussed the Taiwan issue with the United States was to ask the United States not to interfere in China's internal affairs.

　　Qin Gang: The Chinese people have the right to ask: Why does the US talk about respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity on the Ukraine issue, but does not respect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity on the Taiwan issue?

Why, while asking China not to provide arms to Russia, has it sold arms to Taiwan in violation of the "August 17" communiqué for a long time?

Why is it that while it keeps talking about maintaining regional peace and stability, it secretly formulates a so-called plan to "destroy Taiwan"?

　　Qin Gang: The split of "Taiwan independence" is incompatible with the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait.

The real threat to the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait is the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, the one-China principle is the one-China principle, and the three Sino-US joint communiqués are the real guardrails.

If the Taiwan issue is not handled well, the relationship between China and the United States will be shaken.

　　Qin Gang: If the US really wants calm in the Taiwan Strait, it should stop "using Taiwan to contain China", return to the original meaning of the one-China principle, abide by its political commitment to China, and clearly oppose and stop "Taiwan independence".
