US media said that in an exclusive interview with the radio recently, US Secretary of State Pompeo clamored that "Taiwan has never been a part of China" and claimed that "the United States' arms sales to Taiwan are also part of the responsibility and obligations of the United States."
However, even the media on the island refuted Pompeo's statement that his statement was full of loopholes, and the best way was to ignore it.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin warned Pompeo and others at today's regular press conference: Any act that damages China's core interests and interferes in China's internal affairs will be resolutely counterattacked by China and will not stop the historical trend of China's unification.

Local time 11html On January 12, Pompeo accepted an exclusive interview with the host of the radio show Hewitt Show. Pompeo claimed in the program that the support of the two parties in the United States for Taiwan is cross-party. "Taiwan is not part of China's . This is the policy and work it has been done during the Reagan administration. It has been persisted for 35 years."
Pompeo also claimed that the United States must fulfill its commitment to Taiwan, and the United States has a series of obligations to Taiwan, including arms sales to Taiwan in order to assist Taiwan in enhancing its defense capabilities.
As soon as this statement came out, the "green media" thought he had found a "life-saving straw". Taiwan's green media Sanli News Network was ecstatic and claimed that the US officials rarely expressed their views on Taiwan's status so clearly in the past, and this time it "has been praised".
Chang'an Street Governor noticed that in addition to the above-mentioned brainless statements, there are actually many sober people on the island, pointing to the calculations behind Pompeo's words and deeds.
Taiwan United News said that you should not only hear Pompeo say "Taiwan is not a part of China", but also listen to his next sentence "It has been this since the Reagan administration."
article pointed out that Pompeo's claim "has been like this since the Reagan administration", indicating that he is talking about established policies without any novelty. Pompeo's lack of good learning of "one China" policies will be immediately seen. As Ren Xueli, an expert on cross-strait issues in the United States, said, Pompeo's statement is full of loopholes, and the best way is to ignore it.
Anyone with a little knowledge of history can see that what Pompeo said and said neither respected history nor conformed to basic facts, and was full of ignorance of history.
Regarding the status of Taiwan, the Joint Communiqué of China and the United States in 1972 stated: "The United States recognizes that all Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait believe that there is only one China and that Taiwan is part of China. The US government does not object to this position."
In the " China-US Establishment of Diplomatic Relations Bulletin " jointly published by China and the United States in 1979, the United States also recognized that the government of the People's Republic of China is China's only legal government. The United States Government recognizes that there is only one China and that Taiwan is part of China.
article believes that "Taiwan is not a part of China" may satisfy the manic emotions of a few "Taiwan independence" elements, but it is a romantic love saying that I don't know how to implement it."
Chang'an Street Governor noticed that the United States has frequently challenged the "one-China principle" in recent times and has approved arms sales to Taiwan three times, with a total value of up to US$4 billion. While making a lot of money from it, it also sent a wrong signal to the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party authorities.
In addition, the United States recently announced that it will hold the first "Taiwan-US Economic Prosperity Partnership Dialogue" at the same time in Washington and Taipei on the 20th, and the United States will be led by Deputy Secretary of State Krach. Tsai Ing-wen claimed that this symbolizes "progress in Taiwan-US relations."
However, Taiwanese netizens are full of doubts about this and questioned that the so-called "support" of the United States has no practical action.There are even Taiwanese netizens who were "scared" by the "Pig incident" (that is, the DPP authorities announced that pork containing clenbuterol from the United States will officially enter the Taiwan market from New Year's Day next year) and suspected that the so-called "Taiwan-US Economic Dialogue" would "feed" to the Taiwanese people again.
After the election, the Trump administration has a tendency to implement tough anti-China policies intensified: including regarding China as the number one threat in the United States, criticizing the current situation in Hong Kong, sanctioning Chinese and Hong Kong officials, banning American investors from investing in companies owned or controlled by the Chinese military, etc.
Secretary-General of the China Asia-Pacific Elite Exchange Association and Taiwanese scholar Wang Zhisheng pointed out in an interview with Lianhe Zaobao that before Biden took office on January 20, it was a time for cross-strait relations to be more dangerous.
In this regard, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at today's regular press conference that for his own political self-interest, Pompeo disregarded the fundamental interests of the people of China and the United States, reversed black and white, and fabricated lies, with the purpose of misleading public opinion, disrupting audio-visual, further undermining Sino-US relations, and damaging the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait. His sinister intentions have long been revealed to the world.
"We warn Pompeo and others: any act that harms China's core interests and interferes in China's internal affairs will be resolutely counterattacked by China and will not stop the historical trend of China's unification." Wang Wenbin said
