“There is only one China in the world,” reads the letter published by the Chinese Embassy in Colombia to rule on what they consider to be “violations” by the United States for the visit of its congresswoman Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan.
America must go no further down the wrong and dangerous path
According to the diplomatic authorities, this is a “serious violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity” of their country, since Taiwan would be encouraged to become independent without knowing that there is a “legitimate government that represents all of China.”
In the lines of their letter they recounted the commitments made years ago between both nations. The North American power had accepted, in 1979, “to refrain from an official exchange with the Taiwan region” and instead maintain relations only with China.
“Since Nancy Pelosi is the current leader of the US Congress, her visit and activities in Taiwan, in any form or for any reason, constitute a serious political provocation. (…) China does not accept it at all”, they expressed.
(We recommend: China imposes new sanctions against Taiwan after Pelosi’s arrival on the island).
The winds of independence, they say, challenge the ‘status quo’ and amount to dangerous behavior: “Those who play with fire will perish from it.”
What will they do? The Embassy announced that, as part of the Chinese Government, it will defend the national sovereignty supported by the 1.4 billion citizens. “All the consequences of this must be borne by the US and secessionist forces for ‘Taiwan independence’.”
Although they stressed that the North American country is great, they reiterated that these issues must be treated with “mutual respect”, since “the Taiwan issue is purely an internal matter of China” in which no nation should interfere.
“(The United States) must not go further down the wrong and dangerous path,” they concluded.
