Quoting the news of the Global Network on April 7, according to the report released by the Taiwan media "Lianhe Bao" on the same day, Pelosi, speaker of the US House of Representatives, will lead a delegation to visit Asia and is scheduled to arrive in Taiwan on the 10th (Sunday). This news immediately aroused strong repercussions among the people on both sides of the strait. In this regard, Our Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian clearly pointed out at a regular press conference on the same day: "Pelosi's behavior seriously violates the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiques, seriously undermines China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, seriously impacts the political foundation of Sino-US relations, and sends a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces." ”
These four "serious" responses are undoubtedly a thunderous warning for the United States, the wording is very rare, perhaps it is intended to test the attitude of Chinese mainland, the United States feels the seriousness of the situation, Pelosi's spokesman Drew Hamir revealed the news on Twitter on the evening of April 7, Beijing time, saying that Pelosi tested positive for the new crown virus, and she is quarantined as required. This means that she is very likely to postpone or even cancel the very key schedule in the near future, that is, to visit Taiwan. As one of the core figures of the ruling US party, Pelosi's visit to Taiwan is evident in the influence.
Because once she makes the trip, she will become the second politician in US history to visit Taiwan as the current speaker of the House of Representatives, after visiting Taiwan in 1997 when the then speaker of the US House of Representatives, Kim Rye-chee, visited Taiwan and met with Lee Teng-hui, the leader of the Taiwan region at the time. Such a comparison seems to bring the current Sino-US relations and cross-strait relations back twenty-five years ago, which is obviously very dangerous and has a direct subversive impact on Sino-US relations, so the Foreign Ministry has made a stern response to this issue at its regular press conference.
From these four responses, the first "serious" can be seen that the Foreign Ministry spokesperson came up with three Sino-US joint communiques, which is also the cornerstone of the establishment of Sino-US diplomatic relations, but the open visit of Pelosi in office to Taiwan this time is obviously a direct disregard for this cornerstone of the establishment of diplomatic relations, which has caused Sino-US relations to encounter an unprecedented crisis of confidence. At the same time, in the second "serious" case, it can be seen that Pelosi's visit to Taiwan has seriously infringed on China's sovereignty, which is a typical interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
Although the United States has always ostensibly pursued Sino-US political mutual trust and gained tremendous benefits by taking advantage of China's economic take-off, it has made a big fuss about this trust, not only talking about Taiwan-US relations, but also repeatedly making vicious incidents of arms sales to Taiwan, which is to release a wrong signal to the island, on the one hand, the United States hopes to obtain dividends from China's economic development, on the other hand, it does not want to lose Taiwan, the traditional arms sales market, which has caused the United States to repeatedly walk a tightrope in Sino-US relations. It can be said that the main responsibility at present lies in the case of the US side, and these four serious third and fourth points have been made very clear, and at present, not only does Sino-US political mutual trust require the United States to work hard to recover it, but also the United States needs to stop the so-called "interaction" between the United States and Taiwan and return to normal Sino-US dialogue, which is also the cornerstone of building a new type of major country relationship in the future.
The reason why the United States wants to release the news that Pelosi is going to visit Taiwan at this point in time has a total of three purposes: First, to test the attitude of the Chinese mainland and pave the way for the next strategy toward Taiwan; second, to create the illusion that the United States will inevitably ensure Taiwan's security for the diehards on the island, so as to continue to gain political and economic benefits; and third, to respond to the demands of the radical right at home.
Of course, no matter which purpose the United States ultimately has, its hegemonic thinking has always been completely outdated with the times, and long-term confrontation will not only damage the interests of the United States itself, but also damage the international reputation, so the four serious responses discussed by the Foreign Ministry spokesperson are also hoping that the United States will assume its obligations as a great power, abandon the confrontational thinking, and truly benefit the two peoples.
