Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 5 (Reporter Feng Xinran) Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying pointed out on August 5 that the cause and effect of the current tension in the Taiwan Strait are clear, and the right and wrong are clear at a glance. The US side is an active provocateur and a crisis maker. China’s counter-measures are a necessary warning to provocateurs, a legitimate defense of national sovereignty and security, and a firm safeguard of regional peace and stability and the basic norms of international law and international relations.
Hua Chunying said at a regular press conference that the current situation was entirely caused by Pelosi and American politicians. The essence of the Taiwan Province issue is not a so-called democracy issue, but a major principle issue concerning China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. "The United States should put itself in the other’s shoes. If a state in the United States tries to split from the United States and establish a country separately, and another country provides it with weapons and political support, can the American government and people allow it?"
Hua Chunying emphasized that Pelosi’s flight to Taiwan seriously violated the one-China principle, trampled on the basic norms of international relations and seriously damaged China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. China has made the utmost diplomatic efforts. Various channels have repeatedly warned the US side of the seriousness and harmfulness of Pelosi’s flight to Taiwan, clearly pointing out that China will not sit idly by and give any space to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, and the US side will be responsible for all the consequences arising therefrom. All parties in the international community have also issued early warnings, pointing out that Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan is a completely unnecessary malicious provocation and will trigger a serious crisis. Unfortunately, the United States turned a deaf ear to this and went its own way.
"The U.S. malicious provocation first, China’s legitimate defense behind. China’s counter-measures are necessary warnings to provocateurs and legitimate defense of national sovereignty and security. " She said, "Now the United States and some of its followers have jumped out and accused China of overreacting. If they really care about regional peace and stability, why didn’t they stand up earlier and discourage Pelosi from going to Taiwan? ! The countermeasures taken by China are justified and necessary, and not excessive. As the perpetrator and initiator of this crisis, the United States should and must bear full responsibility for this. "
Hua Chunying said that China’s relevant measures also firmly safeguard regional peace and stability and the basic norms of international law and international relations. "Today in the 21st century, we must not allow the United States to pretend to be a world policeman and an international judge, and continue to regard other sovereign countries as Freud who can be killed at will." If China is indifferent to the US’s aggressive actions of interfering in internal affairs and damaging China’s sovereignty, and does not resolutely resist the US’s reckless and irresponsible actions, the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, such as respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the basic norms of international relations will become a dead letter, and developing countries, which account for more than 80% of the world’s population, may become the next target at any time.
"Because of this, more than 160 countries have recently issued just voices, reaffirming their adherence to the one-China policy and supporting China in resolutely safeguarding its sovereignty and territorial integrity. This is a major struggle between hegemony and anti-hegemony, interference and anti-interference, separatism and anti-separatism. " She said.
Hua Chunying said that China was invaded by foreign powers in history, but China is no longer China 120 years ago. The people of China will never allow foreign forces to bully, oppress and enslave them. Anyone who wants to do this will surely face the wall of steel built by more than 1.4 billion people in China. The position of the government of China and the people of China on the Taiwan Province issue is consistent, and it is the firm will of more than 1.4 billion China people to resolutely safeguard China’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
"I hope the United States and those so-called ‘ Democracy ’ The country’s followers clearly recognize this and attach importance to and respect the core interests and firm will of the people of China, who account for one-fifth of the human population. " She said.
