#Pelosi is pitting herself against one-fifth of the world’s population and making a provocation to the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people. People will not be fooled. Public opinion cannot be defied.
927
From the #CapitolRiots , the death of #GeorgeFloyd, the Robb Elementary School shooting, and America’s over 1 million #COVID deaths, we see the hypocrisy and cold-bloodedness of the kind of democracy Pelosi referred to.
928
929
The kind of democracy referred to by #Pelosi is like nothing but a robe with lice crawling all over it. It may look opulent from a distance, but couldn’t stand close scrutiny.
930
The nature of Speaker #Pelosi's visit to Taiwan is absolutely not about democracy, but about China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. What she has done is definitely not about upholding or defending democracy...
931
932
Making themselves an enemy of the 1.4 billion Chinese people will not end up well. Acting like a bully in front of the whole world will only make everyone see that the US is the biggest danger to world peace.
933
SC & FM Wang Yi:the #US has reneged on its commitment on the Taiwan question. This is contemptible and will only further bankrupt the US’s credibility as a country. Certain US politicians care about nothing but selfish gains and openly play with fire on the Taiwan question.

935
It must take credible actions to observe strictly the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-U.S. joint communiqués, and should not go further down the wrong and dangerous path.
936
China strongly urges the United States to stop playing the “Taiwan card” and using Taiwan to contain China. It should stop supporting and conniving at “Taiwan independence” separatist forces in any form.
937
China will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity in response to the U.S. Speaker’s visit. All the consequences arising therefrom must be borne by the U.S. side and the “Taiwan independence” separatist forces.
938
The position of the Chinese Government and people on the Taiwan question has been consistent.
939
The Taiwan Strait is facing a new round of tensions and severe challenges, and the fundamental cause is the repeated moves by the Taiwan authorities and the United States to change the status quo.
940
China absolutely does not accept this, and the Chinese people absolutely reject this.
941
Since Speaker Pelosi is the incumbent leader of the U.S. Congress, her visit to and activities in Taiwan, in whatever form and for whatever reason, is a major political provocation to upgrade U.S. official exchanges with Taiwan.
942
Congress, as a part of the U.S. Government, is inherently obliged to strictly observe the one-China policy of the U.S. Government and refrain from having any official exchanges with China’s Taiwan region.
943
...Within this context, the people of the United States will maintain cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan.”
944
In 1979, the United States made a clear commitment in the China-U.S. Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations — “The United States of America recognizes the Government of the People’s Republic of China as the sole legal Government of China...
945
181 countries have established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of the one-China principle. The one-China principle is a universal consensus of the international community and a basic norm in international relations.
946
In disregard of China’s strong opposition and serious representations, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi visited China’s Taiwan region. China firmly opposes and sternly condemns this, and has made serious démarche and strong protest to the United States.

948
The US should give up any attempt to play the Taiwan card and strictly abide by the one-China principle and the three Joint Communiqués both in words and deeds and to the letter.
949
China firmly opposes separatist moves toward “Taiwan independence” and interference by external forces, and never allows any room for “Taiwan independence” forces in whatever form.
950
And China is only exercising its right as any independent sovereign country would, not to mention that China is a country of more than 1.4 billion people with over 5,000 years of history. We hope that the US is clear-eyed about that.
