If a country’s legislature acts against the country’s foreign policy and the government does nothing about it, it will only prove the government’s political incompetence, poor governance and lack of credibility internationally.
1152
There is only one version and one connotation of the one-China principle, i.e. there is only #OneChina in the world and Taiwan is part of China. The government of the PRC is the sole legal government representing China.
1153
This was written down clearly in Resolution 2758 adopted at the 26th Session of the UN General Assembly in 1971. It is the basic norm in international relations and the political foundation on which China established and have developed diplomatic relations with 181 countries...
1154
Either today or historically, members of the US-led G7 personify aggression and coercion. If anyone should be accused of aggression and coercion, the G7 countries deserve it more than anyone else.
1155
The #G7 must not forget that they are in no position to represent the global community. Their views only represent a tiny fraction of the world of nations. As Singaporean scholar Kishore Mahbubani rightly wrote, the G7...is dictatorial globally.
1156
History and facts have repeatedly shown that whomever the US politicians claim they are standing together with would become the targets of chaos and disaster.
1157
#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.
1158
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…
1159
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.
1160
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…

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

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

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.
1166
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.
1167
China has done everything diplomatically possible. We had repeatedly warned the US through various channels of the severe harm this visit could cause.
1168
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.
1169
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.
1170
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…
1171
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?
1172
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?
1173
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.
1174
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…
1175
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.
