In disregard of China’s solemn representations, U.S. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi brazenly went ahead with her visit to China’s
Taiwan region, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi
said, Trend
reports citing Xinhua.
This move seriously violates the one-China principle,
maliciously infringes on China’s sovereignty and blatantly engages
in political provocations, which has aroused strong indignation
among the Chinese people and widespread opposition from the
international community.
It proves once again that some U.S. politicians have become
“troublemakers” of China-U.S. relations, and that the United States
has become the “biggest destroyer” of peace across the Taiwan
Strait and for regional stability.
The United States should not dream of obstructing China’s
reunification. Taiwan is a part of China. The complete
reunification of China is the trend of the times and an
inevitability of history. We will leave no room for the “Taiwan
independence” forces and external interference.
No matter how the United States supports or connives at the
“Taiwan independence” forces, it will be all in vain. The United
States will only leave more ugly records of gross meddling in other
countries’ internal affairs in history. The Taiwan question arose
when the country was weak and chaotic at the time, and will surely
end with national rejuvenation.
The United States should not fantasize about undermining China’s
development and revitalization. China has found a correct
development path in line with its own national conditions. Under
the leadership of the Communist Party of China, 1.4 billion Chinese
people are striding towards the Chinese-style modernization.
We put the development of our country and nation on the basis of
our own strength, and are willing to coexist peacefully and develop
together with other countries. But we will never allow any country
to undermine China’s stability and development.
Provoking trouble on the Taiwan question in an attempt to delay
China’s development and undermine China’s peaceful rise will be
totally futile and will surely lead to total failure.
The United States should not fantasize about manipulating
geopolitical games. Seeking peace, stability, development and
win-win cooperation are the common aspirations of regional
countries.
The introduction of the Taiwan question into the regional
strategy by the United States, which inflates tensions and stokes
confrontation, is against the trend of regional development and
goes against the expectations of the people in the Asia-Pacific.
This is very dangerous and stupid.
The one-China principle has become a basic norm governing
international relations and an integral part of the post-Second
World War international order.
What the United States should do is to immediately stop
violating the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and stop
playing the “Taiwan card” to disrupt the Asia-Pacific region.
The United States should not fantasize about distorting facts at
will. The U.S. side claimed that China is escalating the situation,
but the basic facts are that the United States first provoked China
on the Taiwan question and blatantly violated China’s sovereignty
and territorial integrity.
The U.S. side claimed that there was a precedent of the U.S.
House speaker visiting Taiwan. Yet the basic truth is that past
mistakes cannot be used as an excuse to repeat them today.
The U.S. side claimed that it cannot restrain the Congress due
to the separation of powers. But the basic norm of international
law is that the United States must fulfill its international
obligations, and key politicians should not misbehave.
It also claimed that China’s pursuit of reunification is a
“threat” to Taiwan, but the basic logic is that Taiwan is an
inalienable part of China’s territory and the Taiwan question is
purely an internal affair of China. It is lawful and justified that
China upholds territorial integrity and opposes secession.
I want to stress that the one-China principle is the key
stabilizing force for peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait,
and the three China-U.S. joint communiques are the real
“guardrails” for peaceful coexistence between China and the United
States.
Clinging to the United States to seek “independence” is a dead
end, and attempts to use the Taiwan question to contain China are
doomed to failure.
In the face of the great cause of national unification, the
Chinese people have the gut not to be misled by fallacies or scared
by evils, the ambition to never be intimidated or crushed, the
determination to unite as one, and the ability to resolutely
safeguard national sovereignty and national dignity.
