The reporter asked: According to reports, the Taiwanese Democratic Progressive Party authorities announced on the 2nd that Deputy Taiwan Regional Leader Lai Jing-de was leaving Taiwan for Paraguay to attend the inauguration of the President of Brazil on the 12th. and will be a “transit” between New York and San Francisco in the United States. What is the press secretary’s comment?
The representative stated that China strongly opposes any form of official exchanges between the United States and Taiwan, strongly opposes “Taiwan independence” separatists fleeing the United States under any name and for any reason, and strongly opposes the connivance and support of the United States “Independence Taiwan” separatists and their separatist behavior in any form.
The Chinese representative said that the Taiwan issue is the core of China’s core interests and an insurmountable red line in China-US relations. China urges the United States to abide by the One China Principle and the provisions of the Three Joint Sino-U.S. Communiqués, faithfully fulfill the commitments made by U.S. leaders not to support “Taiwan independence”, stop formal exchanges between the U.S. and Taiwan, stop improving the substantial US-Taiwan relations, and end the split aside” independence of Taiwan. China will closely monitor the development of the situation and take strong and decisive measures to protect national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
