China Taiwan.com, January 24th. Some so-called "pro-Taiwan" forces in the United States spare no effort to add fuel to the situation in the Taiwan Strait and create trouble, and issue "verbal checks" to the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island. According to the reports of foreign telegrams by Taiwan media, some US lawmakers are clamoring and fabricating so-called Taiwan-related bills. In these so-called bills, they threatened that if the People's Liberation Army "unified Taiwan" Taiwan, they would impose so-called "comprehensive economic and financial sanctions" on China, and required the US Department of Defense to allocate US$3 billion to the Taiwan authorities every year to enhance the so-called "asymmetric combat power." In addition, there are some retired former national security personnel in the United States who call "judgment". China is closely monitoring the Ukrainian crisis to consider the timing of so-called "military reunification".
The so-called proposal of US lawmakers to use economic sanctions to prevent the PLA from “military unification”
There are US Republican Senators recently proposed the so-called “Stand with Taiwan 2022 Act”. According to the content of the so-called bill reposted by Taiwan media, if China decides Taiwan’s future in a “non-peaceful way”, it will directly be called “damaging the ‘Relations with Taiwan Law’”. If the People's Liberation Army "unified" Taiwan by military force, the United States will use all so-called "economic, commercial and financial instruments and forces" to prohibit Chinese entities from listing or trading in the US securities market, prohibit American financial institutions from investing in China's economic industries, etc.

Former U.S. National Security Advisor: After unification, the People's Liberation Army will "threate" the United States' homeland
In addition, former U.S. White House national security advisor O'Brien in an interview with domestic media, China is closely observing the situation in Ukraine. If China believes that "military reunification" can be carried out at this time, it may cause further consequences that threaten the United States. O'Brien said that Taiwan has significant national security and diplomatic interests for the United States and is a "bottle plug" for the United States in the Pacific. If the cross-strait is unified, China will cut off the so-called US-Japan alliance. The People's Liberation Army may come to the west of the United States in a short period of time, and the so-called threats to Hawaii, California or Alaska .
Ambassador to the United States Qin Gang: Sino-US relations are currently at an important juncture
A few days ago, the Joint Conference of Overseas Chinese and Overseas Chinese Associations hosted the 2022 Spring Festival Gathering for Chinese and Overseas Chinese in the United States . Our Ambassador to the United States Qin Gang said in his video speech that Sino-US relations are currently at an important juncture. As two world powers, China and the United States have the best way to get along with each other lies in mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation.
The spokesperson of our embassy in the United States also emphasized earlier that the US openly supports and encourages the "Taiwan independence" forces internationally, attempting to challenge the basic norms of international relations including the one-China principle of . This is simply futile and will never succeed. It must be pointed out that the one-China principle and the three joint communiqués of China and the United States are the political foundations of Sino-US relations. China firmly opposes the so-called "Taiwan Relations Law" and "Six Guarantees to Taiwan" unilaterally fabricated by the US side, and will never accept it. We urge the US side to recognize reality, abide by its commitments, adhere to the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, abide by the resolution 2758 of the UN General Assembly, immediately stop official exchanges with Taiwan, stop making irresponsible and erroneous remarks, and take practical actions to maintain the overall situation of Sino-US relations and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
