Beijing on Thursday renewed its rejection of Washington's interference in Taiwan and Hong Kong affairs, and its determination to defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian stressed during his press conference today that Taiwan is "an inalienable part of the Chinese territory."

"We urge the United States to strictly adhere to the one-China principle and the terms of the three Sino-US joint communiques, to stop official exchanges between the United States and Taiwan, and to stop arms sales to Taiwan," he said.

He stressed the need to deal with issues related to Taiwan "wisely and correctly" and to refrain from any wrongful behavior to avoid harming Sino-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.

On January 7, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs had warned Washington that it would pay a heavy price for its interference in Taiwan's internal affairs, noting that “Washington seriously violates the basic rules of international relations and interferes in China's internal affairs and judicial sovereignty and violates the one-China principle and the Sino-American joint statements and this. China strongly opposes and condemns.

In response to the statements of members of the US Congress related to Hong Kong, Zhao stressed that Hong Kong is a special administrative region in China and that the electoral system for this region is the local electoral system for China, which has the right to how to fully design, develop and improve its internal affairs, adding: “No country has the right to Make irresponsible remarks or interfere in China's internal affairs. ”

On Japan’s concern about the Chinese “maritime police law”, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said that it is routine domestic legislation that does not target a specific country and is fully consistent with international law and international practices.

He said, "The Chinese government's firm position is to deal with maritime disputes through friendly consultations without the use of force or the threat to use force. This is also a long-standing consensus between China and neighboring countries. It is hoped that the Japanese side will adhere to the spirit of consensus on the principle of the four points of China and Japan, and the Chinese side meets Halfway through and stop words and deeds that may complicate the situation.

On the other hand, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed that his country will continue cooperation with the World Health Organization and the international community to contribute to humanity's early victory over the Corona epidemic and to better respond to public health emergencies in the future.

In late January, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected the warning issued by the United States regarding the mission of the World Health Organization in China, pointing out that the new US administration headed by Joe Biden is trying to politicize the investigation concerned with tracing the origin of the Corona virus.
