Intl. community blasts Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan
    2022-08-04  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

OVERSEAS scholars and officials strongly rebuked U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan on Tuesday, saying that the move severely undermines China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, seriously threatens peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and gravely violates international law and basic norms governing international relations.

Stephane Dujarric, the spokesperson for U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, also reiterated the one-China principle in a news briefing yesterday.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is in solidarity with China on the Taiwan question, Tass reported.

“We respect China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and think that no country in the world should have the right to question it or undertake any steps of instigative or other nature,” he said.

The United States lacks respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries, and acts willfully for its own geopolitical interests, said Ghassan Youssef, a Syrian political expert and analyst.

Hassan Aslam Shad, a Pakistani international lawfare specialist, said the United States is trying to make Taiwan a bridgehead against China, and has repeatedly tested China’s red line and challenged China’s core interests with an essential aim to contain China’s peaceful development.

The United States is not trustworthy at all as its actions do not match its words on the Taiwan question, he said, adding that Washington is responsible for all the problems created by Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan, and the U.S. side should take the complete blame for this.

China had issued a serious warning previously and will “defend the Chinese national sovereignty and territorial integrity no matter the costs,” said Noha Bakir, a professor in political science with American University in Cairo.

Mustafa Noyan Rona, a former Turkish diplomat to China, said that he hopes the United States will stop provocations against China, and that Pelosi’s so-called “visit” will not bring any benefits to Taiwan.

The United States has repeatedly stated that it will not change its adherence to the one-China policy, but some politicians are trying to challenge the one-China principle and break through this political bottom line, which shows that some in the United States are paying lip service to their political commitments, said Wilson Lee Flores, a columnist for The Philippine Star, an English daily newspaper.

Shad, the Pakistani international lawfare specialist, views Pelosi’s visit as a blatant provocation and a clear violation. He said that the one-China principle is a norm universally recognized by the international community, adding that Taiwan is a part of China, which is an undeniable fact, and the one-China principle has to be adhered to by the U.S. side.

U.S. officials’ visits to Taiwan seriously violate the one-China principle and endanger peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, said Bambang Suryono, chairman of Indonesian think tank Asia Innovation Study Center, adding that the United States talks about abiding by the one-China policy, but acts with double-dealing and gross interference in China’s internal affairs, which should be strongly condemned.
