One-China principle is part of postwar int'l order & a general int'l consensus. As a country that thinks of itself as a champion of “rules-based int'l order,” the US should naturally abide by the #OneChinaPrinciple. Read my op-ed on The Washington Post: us.china-embassy.gov.cn/eng/dshd/20220…

For “#Taiwan independence” forces, Pelosi’s visit represents an exceptionally strong signal that “the U.S. is on Taiwan’s side.” This goes against the one-China principle, the three Sino-U.S. joint communiques and America’s own commitments.

The Pelosi visit will lead “Taiwan independence” forces further down a dangerous path, with peace and stability across the #TaiwanStrait hanging in the balance.

The visit was an extremely irresponsible, provocative and dangerous move.

Just think: If an American state were to secede from the United States and declare independence, and then some other nation provided weapons and political support for that state, would the U.S. government — or the American people — allow this to happen?

The #Taiwan question is about China’s sovereignty and unity — not democracy. It is one of the very few issues that might take China and the United States to conflict. Extra caution and a sense of responsibility are indispensable when it comes to Taiwan.
