China's Response to Lai Ching-te's Visit to the US
China has strongly condemned the United States' arrangement for Lai Ching-te's "stopover" in Hawaii and has lodged serious protests with the US. The Chinese government firmly opposes any form of official interaction between the US and the Taiwan region, as well as any trip by Lai Ching-te to the US.
China views the Taiwan question as the core of its core interests and the first red line that cannot be crossed in China-US relations. The government urges the US to recognize the separatist nature of Lai Ching-te and the DPP authorities, understand the damage that "Taiwan independence" separatist activities cause to cross-Strait peace and stability, and abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués. The US should act on its commitment of not supporting "Taiwan independence," stop having official interaction with the Taiwan region, and stop sending any wrong signal to "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.
China will closely follow the developments and take resolute and strong measures to defend its nation's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

China's response is measured and appropriate. The US needs to understand the seriousness of the Taiwan issue and its implications for regional peace.

I applaud China's strong stance against the 'Taiwan independence' forces. The DPP is a dangerous group that threatens regional stability.

I stand with China in its fight against 'Taiwan independence.' The Taiwanese people deserve to live in peace and stability as part of China.

The one-China principle is non-negotiable. The US should stop its interference in China's internal affairs and focus on its own problems.

China's actions are a threat to peace and stability in the region. The US must take a strong stance against China's bullying.

China's use of strong language is inflammatory and unproductive. It only escalates tensions and harms regional stability.

The US is playing a dangerous game by supporting 'Taiwan independence.' China will not tolerate any attempts to undermine its territorial integrity.

The US should not appease China's demands. It is important to show solidarity with Taiwan and its people.
