The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, was not afraid to be intimidated by her visit to Taiwan to allow China to explode, and she conducted large-scale military exercises around Taiwan. The White House had previously summoned Qin Gang, the Chinese ambassador to the United States, in protest of China’s military action. The British Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss, also summoned the Chinese ambassador to the United Kingdom, Zheng Zigang, on the tenth day, and asked him to explain China’s behavior in military exercises against Taiwan. However, Zheng Zeguang responded to the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom really cares about peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, so do not play with fire with the United States.
According to the Global Times, Zheng Zigang said, who is the instigator of the recent tension in the Taiwan Strait? The United States, together with the separatist forces for Taiwan independence, plotted and raised this tension across the Taiwan Strait. Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in her capacity as Speaker of the US House of Representatives is in no way considered a so-called regular or routine visit. The statement says that it seriously violates the basic rules of international relations, seriously violates China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and seriously undermines peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
Zheng Zeguang alleged that the United States and the separatist forces for Taiwan independence were the culprits. They were provoked first, and China confronted them later. The UK did not condemn the perpetrators, but rather blamed China. This is “so ridiculous and shameful!” The United States and the Taiwan independence forces are maliciously provoking, and China has every right to take all necessary measures to counter foreign interference, curb the separatist attempt at Taiwan independence, and resolutely protect national sovereignty and territorial integrity. China’s development is the development of peaceful forces and the strengthening of factors of stability.
Zheng Zigang criticized that if the United Kingdom is really interested in peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, it should condemn the United States and the Taiwan authorities to prevent it from being provoked and playing with fire, the legitimate measures to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity point the finger. On the contrary, the United Kingdom and the United States must think for themselves, project their power everywhere in the world, carry out armed intervention and aggression at every turn, creating various evil consequences in many parts of the world.
