In retaliation for US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, China launched a high-profile live-fire military exercise. Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a press conference at the East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Phnom Penh, Cambodia on the evening of the 5th. He warned the United States not to act rashly and not to create a bigger crisis, but suddenly turned the gun on President Tsai Ing-wen, he jumped and criticized: “If Mr. Sun Yat-sen has a talent in the ground, he will also point at Tsai Ing-wen’s nose and say that she is an unworthy descendant. “
Wang Yi declared at the press conference that China’s drills were conducted in an open, transparent and professional manner, aimed at safeguarding national defense needs, and aimed at demonstrating the determination to oppose “Taiwan independence”. Anyone who wants the situation to continue to escalate has no plans. The US side said that China has changed the status quo in the Taiwan Strait, which is completely “rumor and slander”. The US is trying to strengthen its military deployment in this region. The United States has always been good at creating a problem and then using it to achieve its own goals, but in the face of China, this approach will not work.
Wang Yi mentioned that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said at the meeting on the same day that the U.S. hopes that all parties will abide by international law and safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of each country. Wang Yi said: “I will promote it once more for him, because we It’s been a long time since I heard the United States say such a thing.” He was bitter, how many things the United States has done infringing on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries, and now it’s a good thing to “return to the right”. First of all, it will fulfill its commitments on the Taiwan issue and respect China. China’s sovereignty and no longer interfere in China’s internal affairs.
Wang Yi jumped and reiterated: “Taiwan is a part of China, never a country. There is only one China, and this is the status quo of Taiwan since ancient times.” He also quoted the “Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between China and the United States” and pointed out that the government of the People’s Republic of China represents China. The only legitimate government that recognizes Taiwan as part of China is the status quo across the Taiwan Strait that has remained unchanged for decades.
Wang Yi then scolded the United States for continuing to change the status quo across the Taiwan Strait, accusing the United States of constantly hollowing out the “One China Policy”, and asking the United States not to act rashly or create greater crises. He also scolded angrily: “If Mr. Sun Yat-sen has a spirit underground, he will also point to Tsai Ing-wen’s nose and say she is an unworthy descendant!” The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the 5th 8 countermeasures once morest Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan measures, including the cancellation of three exchange mechanisms with the US military.
The official website of the Communist Party of China, the World Wide Web, quoted a number of Chinese experts as saying that the three “cancellations” involve the working mechanism between the Chinese and American militaries, which means that the trust mechanism established by the two militaries in the past few years has almost ceased to exist, resulting in collisions and frictions. risks are rising. Chinese military expert Song Zhongping believes that the defense level, theater level, and maritime security level are all important components of Sino-US military exchanges. As the political relationship between China and the United States hit rock bottom.
