People from over 160 countries have voiced their support for China’s efforts to uphold its sovereignty and territorial integrity. This is a fight against hegemony, interference and secession. #OneChina
877
…immediately stop upgrading the substantive exchanges between the US and Taiwan, and immediately stop arms sales to Taiwan.
878
The US should immediately stop interfering in China’s internal affairs on whatever grounds or under whatever pretexts, immediately stop using salami tactics to encroach upon and hollow out the #OneChina principle…
879
If the US is indeed a responsible country, it should have prevented #Pelosi's irresponsible aggression early on and it should have removed the many military vessels and aircraft it has deployed right at China’s doorstep.
880
The position of the Chinese government and people on the Taiwan question has been consistent. The US should take seriously and respect the core interests and the firm will of the Chinese people, who account for one fifth of the world’s population.
881
China had historically been a victim of foreign aggression. Today, the US still grossly interferes in China's internal affairs and attempts to undermine China's sovereignty and security from time to time.
882
And the vast developing world which account for over 80% of the world’s population could well become the next target anytime. This is a fight against hegemony, against interference and against secession.
883
If China does nothing about the US’s relentless interference in our internal affairs and violation of our sovereignty or does not firmly resist the US’s reckless and irresponsible behavior, respect for sovereign and territorial integrity…
884
We cannot allow the #US to take itself as "world policeman" and treat other countries as #GeorgeFloyd whom it can bully and strangle at will.
885
Have the US and other NATO countries involved done any soul-searching on these tragedies? Have they felt even a tinge of guilt for the serious ramifications and catastrophes they caused? Have they ever made an apology to the victims in those countries?
886
How many humanitarian tragedies have they created in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Afghanistan? How many innocent civilians have been wounded and killed? How many families have been torn apart and lost?
887
As we have seen over the past decades, the US made up various pretexts such as so-called possession of weapons of mass destruction to picture other countries as threats…
888
China has acted in legitimate self-defense only after the US made this egregious provocation. On such an issue concerning China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, China’s countermeasures are justified, necessary and proportionate.
889
The international community had been warning the US of the potential consequences as well. Many openly pointed out that the visit was a completely unnecessary, egregious provocation and could trigger a serious crisis.
890
China has done everything diplomatically possible. We had repeatedly warned the US through various channels of the severe harm this visit could cause.
891
The Taiwan question is not about democracy. It is a major issue of principle about China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The US needs to put itself in others’ shoes.
892
The context and the events that led to the tensions in the Taiwan Strait are crystal-clear. The US is the unprovoked provocateur and creator of the crisis.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announces countermeasures in response to Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan.

China decides to adopt sanctions on Pelosi and her immediate family members in accordance with relevant laws of the People’s Republic of China.

Chinese ambassador: Why China objects to #Pelosi’s visit to #Taiwan
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
897
We will not tolerate moves to incite tensions, confrontation and separatism in this region. The host of measures China is taking and will take are necessary countermeasures that are defensive in nature which have gone through serious consideration and careful assessment…
898
But we will not tolerate any act that harms our core interests. We will not sit by and watch the US play the “Taiwan card” to serve the US’s domestic politics and the selfish interests of some politicians.
899
If China does not firmly resist the US’s recklessness, irresponsibility and extreme irrationality, then the principle of respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity in international relations will just become words on paper…

#Pelosi’s stunt is another bankruptcy of US politics, diplomacy and credibility. It proves the US to be the biggest saboteur of peace and the biggest troublemaker to regional stability.
