[#Multinationals Condemn Pelosi's Visit to Taiwan Region#] U.S. House speaker Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, and people from many countries condemned it. They stressed that Pelosi's move violates the one-China principle, seriously violates China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and seriously tramples on international law and the basic norms governing international relations.
Reiner Braun, a leading figure in the German peace movement and executive director of the International Peace Bureau, an international non-governmental organization, believes that Pelosi's actions violate international law. He criticized the US move for violating the consensus reached in the three Sino-US joint communiques.
Aro, chairman of the Gabonese China Friendship Association and former ambassador to China, said that there is only one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, and the Government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government representing the whole of China. The Canada-China Friendship Association firmly supports the one-China principle and firmly supports China in defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Humphrey Mosi, director of the Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, said that the one-China principle is a principle universally adhered to by the international community, and the actions of the US side not only undermine international law and the basic norms governing international relations, but also damage the credibility of the United States itself.
Humphrey Mosi, director of the Center for China Studies at the University of Dar es Salaam: It cannot be tolerated when the United States decides not to abide by this principle and violates China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. You will realize that because of this bullying, provocative behavior, the United States has lost credibility in recent times and even in the eyes of its allies. And as credibility continues to lose, the United States loses credibility in a particular system. Yunas Adaye, Director of the Institute of Peace and Security at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia: Taiwan has always been part of China. If the United States adheres to the one-China principle, then visiting a region of China without the consent of the Chinese Government and without reaching a consensus with the Chinese Government, I think this is obviously an act of disrespect for China's territory and sovereignty.
Mwanba, Zambia's former Permanent Representative to the African Union: Despite strong opposition and solemn protests from all walks of life, US House speaker Pelosi still insists on doing so, which is extremely offensive and provocative. All countries in the world widely support the one-China principle. Pelosi's actions were sloppy, dangerous, and provocative. (CCTV)
