\n Accra, Aug. 3, GNA – China says the visit of Mrs Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, to China\u2019s Taiwan region is a serious violation of the one-China principle.<\/p>\n
A statement issued by the Chinese Foreign Ministry, copied to the Ghana News Agency, said the visit was also a violation of the provisions of the three China-US joint communiqu\u00e9.<\/div>\n
It said on August 2, in disregard of China\u2019s strong opposition and serious representations, Mrs Pelosi visited China\u2019s Taiwan region.<\/div>\n
It noted that the visit had a severe impact on the political foundation of China-US relations, and seriously infringed on China\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity.<\/div>\n
“It gravely undermines peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and sends a seriously wrong signal to the separatist forces for \u201cTaiwan independence\u201d.”<\/div>\n
The statement said China firmly opposed and sternly condemned this and had made serious d\u00e9marche and strong protest to the US.<\/div>\n
“There is but one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China\u2019s territory, and the Government of the People\u2019s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China,” it said<\/div>\n
“This has been clearly recognized by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 of 1971.”<\/div>\n
It noted that since the founding of the People\u2019s Republic of China in 1949, 181 countries had established diplomatic relations with China based on the one-China principle.<\/div>\n
It said the one-China principle was a universal consensus of the international community and a basic norm in international relations.<\/div>\n
The statement said in 1979, the US made a clear commitment in the China-US Joint Communiqu\u00e9 on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations \u2014 \u201cThe US of America recognizes the Government of the People\u2019s Republic of China as the sole legal Government of China.”<\/div>\n
It said within this context, the people of the US would maintain cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan.<\/div>\n
It said Congress, as a part of the US Government, was inherently obliged to strictly observe the one-China policy of the US Government and refrain from having any official exchanges with China\u2019s Taiwan region.<\/div>\n
It said China was all along opposed to the visit to Taiwan by US congressional members, and the US executive branch has the responsibility to stop such a visit.<\/div>\n
It said since Speaker Pelosi was the incumbent leader of the US Congress, her visit to and activities in Taiwan, in whatever form and for whatever reason, was a major political provocation to upgrade US official exchanges with Taiwan.<\/div>\n
“China absolutely does not accept this, and the Chinese people absolutely reject this,” it said.<\/div>\n
It noted that the Taiwan question was the most important and most sensitive issue at the very heart of China-US relations.<\/div>\n
It said the Taiwan Strait was facing a new round of tensions and severe challenges, and the fundamental cause was the repeated moves by the Taiwan authorities and the US to change the status quo.<\/div>\n
It said the Taiwan authorities had kept seeking US support for their independence agenda; saying they refuse to recognize the 1992 Consensus, go all out to push forward \u201cde-sinicization\u201d, and promote \u201cincremental independence\u201d.<\/div>\n
“China and the US are two major countries. The right way for them to deal with each other lies only in mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, no-confrontation and win-win cooperation,” it said.<\/div>\n
“The Taiwan question is purely an internal affair of China, and no other country is entitled to act as a judge on the Taiwan question.”<\/div>\n
It said China strongly urges the US to stop playing the \u201cTaiwan card\u201d and using Taiwan to contain China.<\/div>\n
It urges the US to stop meddling in Taiwan and interfering in China\u2019s internal affairs; adding that it should stop supporting and conniving at \u201cTaiwan independence\u201d separatist forces in any form.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
