CCTV News: The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference on July 16, and spokesperson Chen Binhua answered reporters' questions on recent hot cross-strait issues.

Q: Taiwan media reported that after the so-called "Taiwan International Solidarity Act" was passed by the US House of Representatives, a US senator recently proposed the Senate version of the bill, proposing to "oppose the change of Taiwan's status without the consent of the Taiwanese people", encouraging the United States to cooperate with allies and partners to jointly oppose "China's destruction of Taiwan's diplomacy and partnership around the world." What is the spokesperson’s comment?

A: There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. In 1971, the 26th UN General Assembly passed Resolution 2758 with an overwhelming majority, deciding to restore all rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations and recognize that the representative of the Government of the People's Republic of China is China's only legal representative at the United Nations. Politically, legally and procedurally, the issue of representation of China in the United Nations, including Taiwan, has been completely resolved. History cannot be tampered with, and facts cannot be distorted.

The relevant bills seriously violate the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, and we firmly oppose this. Urge the US to stop advancing negative bills related to Taiwan and stop sending any wrong signals to the separatist forces of "Taiwan independence".
