August 2, Pelosi , despite China's opposition, came to Taiwan to visit. The first time Pelosi's special plane landed in Taipei Songshan Airport , China began to counterattack. That night, China's Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued statements one after another, condemning Pelosi's visit to Taiwan and reiterating that China will take decisive measures to defend the country's territory and sovereignty and security.
Then Xinhua News Agency is authorized to release the news that the People's Liberation Army will conduct live-fire drills around the island from 12:00 on August 4 to 12:00 on August 7. The Eastern Theater Command also released news that a series of military operations had begun that night.
It should be emphasized that neither unity nor countermeasures can be achieved overnight, but they are inevitable. The US and Taiwan authorities will definitely pay a heavy price for their provocative behavior.
However, after one wave was not settled, another wave started again. After Pelosi took the lead in provoking, other American allies also began to get ready, and the first one was the one who was borne by the brunt.
It is reported that as early as Pelosi's first trip to Asia, British MPs clamored to lead a delegation to visit Taiwan, which attracted attention and heated discussions from all parties.
On August 1, local time, British media reported that British House of Commons member Tugenhart plans to lead a delegation to visit Taiwan later this year, which may be in November or early December.
Tugenhart is the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Commons. After Johnson 2 announced his resignation, he participated in the British Conservative Party leader's election, but he had lost in the early stage.
Currently, Tugenhart is a loyal supporter of the current British Foreign Secretary Trass, and Tras has recently shown a tough stance against China. It can be seen that Tugenhart's stance towards China is not optimistic.
, and according to British media reports, the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Commons had been planning to visit Taiwan before, but did not respond to the details of the plan to go to Taiwan “for security reasons”.
report also said that if Tras wins the election, Tugenhart may enter the cabinet as her loyal supporter. However, sources said that regardless of the outcome of the British election, Tugenhart's visit to Taiwan will be carried out as planned.
Sources also said that the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Commons has not officially finalized the date and itinerary of the visit to Taiwan, but the itinerary should not be cancelled.
Chinese Ambassador to the UK Zheng Zeguang responded strongly when holding a press conference between Chinese and foreign countries on August 2. Ambassador Zheng said that British MPs' visit to Taiwan is a serious interference in China's internal affairs and a bad act that violates the one-China principle and the provisions of the Sino-British Joint Communiqué. China firmly opposes this.
China hopes that the UK will not underestimate the sensitivity of the Taiwan issue, abide by its commitment to China, and do not "play with fire" with the United States, because those who play with fire will burn themselves.
At the press conference that day, Ambassador Zheng also responded to Pelosi's visit to Taiwan. He said that Pelosi's visit to Taiwan seriously undermines China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity and damages Sino-US relations. China firmly opposes this A provocative act.
At the same time, Ambassador Zheng also emphasized that he hopes other countries will recognize the sensitivity of the Taiwan issue, abide by the one-China principle, and do not imitate the evil deeds of the United States to maintain the healthy and stable development of bilateral relations with China.
In fact, in addition to the United Kingdom, Australia seems to be ready to move. It is reported that before Pelosi arrived in Taiwan for a visit, former Australian Defense Minister Christopher Pine had already visited Taiwan.
Christopher Pine also openly called for a showdown against China during his visit to Taiwan, threatening that China would not have the "veto power" of Pelosi's plan to travel to Taiwan.
Compared with Christopher Pine's arrogance, Australian Prime Minister Albanys is obviously much calmer. After Christopher Pine made a big splash, he recently re-emphasized Australia's position on supporting the one-China principle.
Regarding Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, China has taken countermeasures, and I believe that these countermeasures can also deter other countries.If the UK really dares to send MPs to visit Taiwan, it will definitely pay a heavy price for its provocative behavior like the United States. I advise the UK to do so to avoid asking for trouble.
