Despite strong opposition and righteous remarks from China, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy and other members of the United States Congress insisted on meeting Tsai Ing-wen, who is in “transit” trip to the United States. This decision seriously violates the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiques, seriously violates international law and basic norms governing international relations, and seriously undermines national sovereignty and territorial integrity. from China. The APN categorically opposes this move and strongly condemns it.
There is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an integral part of Chinese territory. The government of the People’s Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing all of China. A number of international law documents, including the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Declaration, clearly provide for Chinese sovereignty over Taiwan. Taiwan has no other status in international law than that of being part of China. The actions of Kevin McCarthy, the third representative of the United States government, seriously violate the commitments made by the United States to China on the question of Taiwan, and send very bad signals to the separatist forces which seek “Taiwan independence” . This violates historical fact and justice and undermines the international legal order.
China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity tolerate no encroachment or division. The PRC Anti-Secession Law, drafted and adopted by the NPC, contains clear provisions on major issues, including upholding the one-China principle, deterring separatist movements seeking “Taiwan independence and the fight against foreign interference in the Taiwan question. Any attempt to “use Taiwan to contain China” and to support and tolerate separatist forces advocating “Taiwan independence” is doomed to failure. People committing actions “aiming at achieving independence through foreign support” and undermining the reunification of the homeland will certainly be held accountable under the law.
The Taiwan issue is at the core of China’s core interests and is the political foundation of China-US relations and the first red line of China-US relations that cannot be crossed. We strongly oppose any form of official communication between the United States and Taiwan, and urge the U.S. government and Congress to stop distorting, blurring, and emasculating the one-China principle, to refrain from adventurous acts of crossing the red line and refraining from undermining the political foundation of China-US relations.
