People’s Daily Bell： Openly challenging the One-China principle is the greatest threat to peace in the Taiwan Strait.

　　On December 3, local time, when talking about the Taiwan Province issue, senior officials of the US government openly referred to Taiwan Province as a "country" and imposed the so-called "changing the status quo" on China without any foundation, saying that Taiwan Province should have "defensive means".The remarks of individual politicians in the United States seriously violate the truth and the norms of international relations, openly challenge the one-China principle, and grossly interfere in China’s internal affairs. They are sending a wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" forces, and the political plot to play the "Taiwan Province card" and "control China with Taiwan" is the greatest threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.

　　At present, the situation in the Taiwan Strait is facing a new round of tension, and American politicians and the Democratic Progressive Party authorities in Taiwan Province are the initiators.Individual politicians in the United States openly refer to Taiwan Province as a "country", which is a serious violation of the one-China principle and the political commitment made by the United States in Three Joint Communiqués. It is very bad in nature and the United States must stop its wrong words and deeds.The authorities in Democratic Progressive Party, Taiwan Province, instigated cross-strait confrontation and constantly provoked "seeking independence by relying on the United States". The wrong words and deeds of individual politicians in the United States will only connive at "Taiwan independence" and make the situation in the Taiwan Strait even more tense.

　　Individual politicians in the United States ignored the facts and fabricated the lie that China unilaterally "changed the status quo" in the Taiwan Strait. But in fact,The real status quo of the Taiwan Province question is that there is only one China in the world, Taiwan Province is a part of China, and the government of People’s Republic of China (PRC) is the sole legal government representing China.The communique on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States clearly pointed out that "the United States government recognizes China’s position that there is only one China and Taiwan Province is a part of China". In the August 17th Communiqué, the United States reiterated that it had no intention of interfering in China’s internal affairs. On the question of Taiwan Province, the position of the China government is consistent and its actions are firm. China has always tried its best to pursue peaceful reunification, but it will never allow the "Taiwan independence" forces to split China.The Democratic Progressive Party authorities are "seeking independence by relying on the United States" and constantly provoking, and the United States is constantly making moves to "control China with Taiwan". China is bound to make a proper response and resolutely defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.It is obvious that the US-Taiwan collusion is "destroying the status quo in the Taiwan Strait", but individual politicians in the United States exaggerate that China’s legitimate act of defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity is "changing the status quo", which is completely confusing and confusing.

　　While hyping that China has changed the "status quo in the Taiwan Strait", the US side has deliberately elevated the status of the so-called "Taiwan Relations Act" and "Six Guarantees" to find excuses for its so-called rhetoric of ensuring Taiwan Province’s "defense capability". This kind of political manipulation by the United States completely violates the norms of international relations. The so-called "Taiwan Relations Act" and the "Six Guarantees" were unilaterally formulated by the United States, and their contents violated Three Joint Communiqués and grossly interfered in China’s internal affairs. They were completely wrong, illegal and invalid, and China resolutely opposed them from the beginning. It is a serious mistake for the United States to define its Taiwan policy by the so-called "Taiwan Relations Act" and "six guarantees".

　　As we all know, the one-China principle and Three Joint Communiqués are the political basis of Sino-US relations. Successive American governments have made clear commitments to this.At present, individual politicians in the United States deliberately misinterpret the one-China principle for the purpose of "controlling China with Taiwan", which not only deviates from their own political commitments, but also lacks the demeanor that a big country should have, and even more challenges the basic norms of international relations.

　　Realizing national reunification is a just and inevitable requirement of all countries in the world, and it is no exception since ancient times. The complete reunification of China is the common aspiration of all Chinese people. We are patient and willing to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and best efforts, butIf the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces provoke and persecute or even break through the red line, we will have to take drastic measures.The United States should immediately stop its wrong actions of challenging the one-China principle, truly abide by the Three Joint Communiqués regulations, and stop sending any dangerous and wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" forces.
