Foreign Ministry: the United States should stop sending any wrong signals to "Taiwan independence" forces

2021-11-12

According to the website of the Ministry of foreign affairs, foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin presided over today's regular press conference. Questions and answers related to the press conference are as follows: CCTV: what is China's expectation of the 28th APEC informal leaders' meeting? Wang Wenbin: at present, the global epidemic situation fluctuates repeatedly, economic recovery faces many challenges, and global cooperation in epidemic resistance and economic recovery has entered a critical stage. As an important member of the Asia Pacific region, China attaches great importance to the role of APEC as an important platform for economic cooperation in the Asia Pacific region. We expect all parties in the Asia Pacific region to uphold the concept of a community of shared future in the Asia Pacific region, promote the implementation of the 2040 APEC Putrajaya vision, inject strong impetus into the Asia Pacific and global fight against epidemic diseases and the process of sustainable economic recovery, and make positive contributions to the common development and prosperity of the Asia Pacific. China is willing to work with all parties to promote the conference to achieve positive results. Agence France Presse: first question, China and the United States surprisingly announced the conclusion of a climate agreement at the 26th conference of the parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on climate change. Does this mean that China US relations have improved? The second problem, US Secretary of state Blinken said in an interview that the United States has undertaken to ensure Taiwan's ability to defend itself. If unilateral use of force destroys the status quo, many countries will take action. What is China's response to this? Wang Wenbin: on your first question, on November 10 London time, China and the United States reached and issued the Glasgow Joint Declaration on strengthening climate action in the 1920s during the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow. Based on the China US joint statement on addressing the climate crisis in Shanghai in April and the Tianjin talks in September, this joint declaration further puts forward specific measures for China and the United States to carry out their own domestic actions, promote bilateral cooperation and promote the multilateral process. The two sides appreciated the work carried out so far and pledged to continue to work together and work with the parties to strengthen the implementation of the Paris Agreement. The two sides will take intensified climate action to effectively respond to the climate crisis in accordance with the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and taking into account their respective national conditions. The two sides agreed to establish the "enhanced Climate Action Working Group in the 1920s" to promote bilateral climate change cooperation and multilateral process. The specific content of the declaration has been published online. You are welcome to consult it. The United Nations climate change Glasgow conference is coming to an end. I believe that the issuance of the joint declaration can enhance the confidence of all countries to jointly deal with climate change and make a positive contribution to the success of the conference. Since the beginning of this year, China and the United States have held intensive dialogue and consultation on climate change in accordance with the spirit and instructions of the two heads of state. The declaration is the product of frank exchanges, mutual understanding, mutual respect and actively expanding consensus between the two sides. This once again shows that China and the United States can cooperate on major international issues. China US cooperation can accomplish many major events that are beneficial to the two countries and the people of the world, and inject positive energy into the multilateral process. On your second question, I would like to emphasize that the US remarks ignore the facts and violate international legal principles. The one China principle and the three Sino US joint communiques are the basis for the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States and the healthy development of bilateral relations. The "Taiwan Relations Act" unilaterally formulated by the United States violates the commitments made by the United States in the three Sino US joint communiques and puts us domestic laws above international obligations. It is illegal and invalid. China will never allow the United States to infringe upon China's sovereignty and interfere in China's internal affairs under any pretext. The United States should abide by the one China principle and the provisions of the three Sino US joint communiques with practical actions, be cautious in words and deeds, and stop sending any wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" forces. There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is a part of China. This is not only a historical and legal fact that cannot be changed, but also a current situation that cannot be challenged. The one China principle is a universally recognized norm in international relations and a general consensus of the international community. Resolution 2758 of the general assembly not only recognized the representatives of the government of the people's Republic of China as "the only legitimate representative of China in the United Nations Organization", but also expelled "representatives of Chiang Kai Shek" from "the seat of the United Nations". During the consultations on the resolution, the proposal of the United States and a few other countries to engage in "double recognition" and create "two Chinas" was not adopted, and Taiwan's representation in the United Nations was completely denied. Relevant United Nations documents clearly point out that "the United Nations believes that Taiwan, as a province of China, has no independent status" and "the Taiwan authorities do not enjoy any form of government status". 180 countries in the world recognize and support the one China principle. The international community's adherence to the one China principle is as firm as a rock. China's reunification is an irresistible historical trend. The attempts of the Taiwan authorities and a small number of "Taiwan independence" separatist forces to deny and challenge the one China principle and expand the space for "Taiwan independence" activities are the root cause of the current tension in the Taiwan Strait and are firmly opposed by the Chinese government and the international community. Any act that challenges the one China principle and resists the general trend of China's reunification will be resolutely defeated. Any attempt to support "Taiwan independence" separatism and go against the historical trend will end in failure. Reporter from Beijing Youth Daily: according to Kyodo news, researchers from Tsukuba University in Japan recently released research results, saying that cesium 137, a radioactive substance that flowed into the sea in the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in 2011, reached the west coast of the United States, went north, passed through the Bering Sea in the northernmost part of the Pacific Ocean, and returned to the northeast coast of Japan about 7 to 8 years later. At the same time, cesium 137 from the Fukushima nuclear accident was also detected in the Arctic Ocean. What is China's comment on this? Wang Wenbin: I have noticed relevant reports. The latest research results of Japanese experts show that the radioactive materials produced by the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in Japan have spread to the whole North Pacific and even affected the Arctic Ocean. Previous authoritative international research reports showed that the Fukushima coast has the strongest ocean current in the world. If the Fukushima nuclear polluted water is discharged into the sea, the radioactive materials in it will spread to the global sea after several years. This once again shows that the disposal of nuclear contaminated water in Fukushima, Japan, is related to the global marine ecological environment and public health, and is by no means a private matter of the Japanese family. Recently, State Councilor Wang Yi pointed out in his speech at the opening ceremony of the second marine cooperation and Governance Forum that we should strictly deal with acts that damage the marine environment such as the discharge of nuclear polluted water according to law, so that the blue planet will always maintain a clear background and leave a clear sea and blue sky for future generations. We urge Japan to listen carefully to the concerns of its neighboring countries and the international community, and reverse its wrong decision to discharge nuclear contaminated water into the sea in a responsible manner for the marine environment and human health. Unless full consultation and agreement is reached with stakeholders and relevant international institutions, Japan shall not start the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea without authorization. BBC reporter: Although the epidemic has not been 100% controlled, many countries, including the United States, have recently relaxed the entry restrictions on foreigners and issued tourist visas to foreigners. What is China's comment on this and when to relax the entry restrictions on foreigners? Wang Wenbin: Since China novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak, China has learned from the multinational practice and international practice, and has always adjusted the management measures of the relevant personnel to China scientifically and dynamically according to the changes of the epidemic situation. At present, the global epidemic is still spreading and the virus is constantly mutating. China will continue to coordinate and determine various prevention and control measures on the basis of scientific analysis according to the development of the epidemic situation. At the same time, China is willing to actively build a healthy, safe and orderly order of personnel exchanges between China and foreign countries on the premise of ensuring the safety of epidemic prevention. Bloomberg correspondent: the US media reported the online meeting time between President Xi Jinping and President Biden. Could the Ministry of foreign affairs confirm and provide more details? Wang Wenbin: I answered relevant questions yesterday. If there is any new information, China will release it in time. RIA Novosti: a cargo ship named rise shine ran aground near the city of nahodka in the Far East of Russia. The 14 crew members on board are all Chinese citizens. They have been successfully rescued ashore. Have they ever asked the Chinese embassy or consulate in Russia for help? Wang Wenbin: on November 9 local time, affected by bad weather, a Panamanian container ship ran aground and was in danger in the sea area near nahodka City, the coastal frontier region of the Far East of Russia. There were 14 Chinese crew members on board. Chinese diplomatic agencies stationed in local areas should pay attention to it in a timely manner and take corresponding measures. After receiving the request for assistance, the local emergency department quickly sent helicopters to the former incident site for rescue, and all 14 Chinese crew members have been rescued ashore. The hull of the ship was damaged when it ran aground, but it did not capsize or cause casualties. We thank the relevant Russian departments for their rescue operations. (outlook new era)
