CGTN America Releases: Pelosi lit a fire that could consume the Asia-Pacific

"Taiwan is part of the sacred territory of the People's Republic of China. It is the sacred duty of all the Chinese people, including our fellow Chinese in Taiwan, to achieve the great reunification of the motherland." These are the words written in the preamble of China's Constitution. And U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's visit to China's Taiwan region is a brazen violation into China's most sacred principle.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CGTN America releases "Pelosi lit a fire that could consume the Asia-Pacific"

"Taiwan is part of the sacred territory of the People's Republic of China. It is the sacred duty of all the Chinese people, including our fellow Chinese in Taiwan, to achieve the great reunification of the motherland." These are the words written in the preamble of China's Constitution. And U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's visit to China's Taiwan region is a brazen violation into China's most sacred principle.

On August 2, Pelosi landed in Taiwan. The Chinese Foreign Ministry released a statement saying it will have a severe impact on the political foundation of China-U.S. relations and gravely undermines peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.

The entire saga is nothing but a reckless provocation, both political and military, and a challenge to China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Beijing has repeatedly conveyed to Washington its serious concerns over Pelosi's imprudent insistence on visiting a part of China that is clearly off limits for her.

Despite all the forewarning, Pelosi still went ahead with her plan and flew to Taiwan. China is left with no option but to retaliate to this blatant challenge to its national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) announced that it will be conducting important military exercises and training activities including live-fire drills from August 4 to August 7. The PLA's Eastern Theater Command began conducting a series of military operations near Taiwan starting Tuesday night.
