Reporter from Hubei Radio and Television: It is reported that on July 29, US Secretary of State Brillin and Minister of Commerce Raymond Doro with Japanese Foreign Minister Lin Fangzheng and Minister of Economic and Industrial Tamagi Hatsui held a "2+2" dialogue. Brinken said that the two sides talked about China and their coercion economic policies, and believed that this was violated with openness, tolerance, and rules -based international economic systems. What does China respond to this?

Hubei Media Group: On July 29, US Secretary Antony J. Blinken and Secretary of Commerce Gina M. Raimondo, Japanese Foreign Minister Hayashi Yoshimasa, and Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry Koichi Hagiuda held the meeting of the US-Japan Economic Consultative Committee (Economic 2+2). Blinken said that “we addressed the People's Republic of China and how its coercive economic practices go against an open, inclusive rules-based international economic order”. Do you have any response?

Zhao Lijian: China has always adhered to the concept of openness, tolerance, mutual benefit and win -win, and promoted the construction of an open world economy, and shared development opportunities with various countries. We never put our hands into other people's homes, do not engage in a trade war, and do not coercion to suppress other countries. On the other hand, the cases of economic coercion are everywhere. Economic sanctions, technical blockade, and suppressing other countries, the United States has everything. The United States is engaged in economic coercion to maintain its own economic hegemony. This not only violates market rules, but also violates international trade rules.

Zhao Lijian: China always upholds the principle of openness, inclusiveness and win-win outcomes. We are committed to building an open world economy and sharing development opportunities with all countries. China never stretches its hands into the house of other countries and meddles in their domestic affairs. China never seeks a trade war and never coerces or suppresses foreign enterprises. By contrast, there are plenty of examples of US economic coercion. Economic sanctions, technological blockade, suppression of foreign enterprises and so on -- the US has done them All. The aim is to maintain us economic hegemony. This not only runs counter to undelying laws of the market but also violator trade run.

What's more ironic is that Japan itself is a victim of economic stress in the United States itself. Since the 1980s, the United States has launched economic sanctions on Japan many times. It has unscrupulously suppressed the Japanese advantageous industry and even promoted a structural surgery of the Japanese economy. What is puzzling is why the Japanese side selectively obediently obey?

More ironically, Japan itself is a victim of US economic coercion. Since the 1980s, the US has imposed multiple rounds of economic sanctions on Japan, used all kinds of tools to crack down on Japan's competitive industries, and even sought to perform a surgical operation on Japan's economic structure, all of which are text-book examples of economic coercion. Why is Japan being selectively amnesic and chasing the steps of the US on this?我们奉劝美日不要将经贸和科技问题政治化、武器化、泛Safety, do not target the interests of third parties or harm third parties, let alone splitting and confrontation with the banner of "cooperation" and "dialogue".

We urge the US and Japan not to politicize, weaponize and overstretch the concept of national security on economic, trade and sci-tech issues, not target third parties or undermine their interests, still less incite division and confrontation in the name of cooperation and dialogue Then, then, then

Reuters Reuters: Perlis, the American speaker, plans to visit Southeast Asia and East Asian countries this week, and its itinerary does not include Taiwan. What are the comments in China?

Reuters: US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Is Scheduled to Visit Southeast Asia and East Asia This Week and TAIWAN Is Not Mentioned In her itinerary. What ’s China’ s Comment?

Zhao Lijian: China has recently stated to the United States that he has resolutely opposed the serious concern and serious position of the Speaker of Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, emphasizing that she will lead to serious consequences if she visits Taiwan. President Xi Jinping recently emphasized that the Chinese government and the Chinese people's positions on issues of Taiwan were consistent when they talked with President Bai Deng. It was resolutely maintaining China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity of more than 1.4 billion. Public opinion must not be violated, and you must break self -immolation. I believe the United States has fully understood the strong and clear information transmitted by China.

Zhao Lijian: Recently, the Chinese side has repeatedly made clear to the US side our serious concern over Speaker Pelosi's potential visit to Taiwan and our firm opposition to the visit. We have been stressing that such a visit would lead to serious consequences. As President Xi Jinping stressed to US President Joe Biden in their phone call, the position of the Chinese government and people on the Taiwan question is consistent, and resolutely safeguarding China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity is the firm will of the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people. The public opinion cannot be defied. Those who play with fire will perish by it. We believe that the us size is fully aware of China's Strong and Clear Message.

We are closely paying close attention to the journey of Commander Pelosi. If she visits Taiwan, she will be a rude interference in China's internal affairs, which seriously damages China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and wants to trample on a Chinese principle, seriously threatening the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait, and severely destroying Sino -US relations, leading to a very serious situation and consequences.

We are closely following the itinerary of Speaker Pelosi. A visit to Taiwan by her would constitute a gross interference in China's internal affairs, seriously undermine China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, wantonly trample on the one-China principle, greatly threaten peace and stability across the TAIWAN Strait, Severely Undermine China-us Relations and Lead to a Very Serious Situation and Grave Consequences.

We have to sue the United States again. The Chinese side is waiting for it. The Chinese People's Liberation Army will never sit at the sight, and we will take resolute response and effective countermeasures to defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity. What the United States should do is to abide by the three joint communiqué regulations of China and China and the United States, and fulfill the promise of President Biden's "Taiwan independence", and must not arrange the Speaker of the Perosi to visit Taiwan. We want to once again make it clear to the US side that the Chinese side is fully prepared for any eventuality and that the People's Liberation Army of China will never sit idly by, and we will make resolute response and take strong countermeasures to uphold China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, What the US should do is to abide by the one-China principle and the stipulations of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, fulfill President Biden's commitment of not supporting “Taiwan independence” and not arrange for a visit by Speaker Pelosi To Taiwan.

Phoenix Satellite TV reporter: The Iranian nuclear agreement negotiations have stopped since March, and Iran's deputy foreign minister and chief negotiating representative of the nuclear issue said on the 31st that Iran responded to the new draft of the European Union that promoted the United States and Iran to restore the performance of the nuclear agreement, and gave it to it. The United States showed sincerity in negotiations. How do Chinese side think of the prospects of Iraqi Nuclear negotiations?

Phoenix TV: The Iran nuclear talks have stalled since March. Ali Bagheri Kani, Iran's deputy foreign minister and chief nuclear negotiator, said on July 31 that Tehran had responded to the EU's new draft aimed at bringing the US and Iran back to compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) NUCLEAR Deal, "To GIVE Another CHANCE to the us to demonstrate good faith".

Zhao Lijian: At present, the Iranian Nuclear Comprehensive Agreement has resumed performance negotiations at key nodes. All parties should adhere to the general direction of dialogue negotiations, increase diplomatic efforts, and strive to reach a consensus on the failure. As the initiator of the Iraqi crisis, the United States should completely correct the wrong policy of "extreme pressure", actively respond to the legitimate demands of the Iranian side, and promote the early results of the negotiations.

Zhao Lijian: The negotiations on resuming compliance with the JCPOA are now at a critical juncture. Parties concerned should stay committed to the direction of dialogue and negotiation and step up diplomatic efforts to strive for consensus on outstanding issues. The US, as the one who started the Iranian nuclear crisis, should fully rectify its erroneous policy of “maximum pressure” and respond positively to Iran's legitimate and reasonable demands, which will help to enable the negotiations to produce results at an early date.9

Agence France -Presse Reporter: Question of the Long March 5 Rockets. On Saturday, the Rockets returned to the earth and fell into the Indian Ocean.

What are the Chinese criticism of the international community?

AFP: I got another question on the Chinese rocket, the Long March-5B rocket. It fell back to Earth on Saturday over the Indian Ocean. The US space agency said China had not shared specific information on where the rocket might fall. There was Also Some Criticism from International Space Experts. So How Do You Respond to this International Criticism?

Zhao Lijian: U.S. officials and your so -called experts' accusations on China are neither professional nor completely in line with the facts. The official website of China Manned Aerospace has released relevant news in the early morning of July 31, Beijing time, and you can check it. What I want to emphasize is that China has always carried out peaceful use of external and empty activities in accordance with international law and international practice. The re -entering atmosphere of the Rockets is an international approach. In response to the last level of the Long March 5, the Chinese competent department has been closely monitoring and announced the rocket wreckage track parameters every day. In a open and transparent attitude, it will timely publish information to the international community.

Zhao Lijian: The accusations by the US official and the so-called experts are neither professional nor fact-based. The China Manned Space website put out the specific information at midnight on July 31 Beijing time. You may look it up. I would like to stress that China has all along pursued the peaceful use of outer space in accordance with international law and the international customary practice. The reentry of a rocket's upper stage into the Earth's atmosphere is an established international practice. With regard to the upper stage of the Long March-5 rocket, the competent authorities in China have been closely tracking it and releasing the orbital parameters of the rocket remnants on a daily basis, and sharing information in an open, transparent and timely manner to the international community.长征五号末Most of the devices of the level wreckage have been destruction and destruction during the re -entering atmosphere, without any harm to aviation activities and ground.

Bloomberg reporter: First, will Wang Yi State Councilor and Foreign Minister attend the East Asian Cooperation Series Foreign Minister Association this week? Can you provide relevant details? Second, according to the Financial Times report, the Director -General of the British Industry Federation stated that because of concern that Sino -British relations may further deteriorate, thousands of British companies will cut off their contact with China. What does China respond to this?

Bloomberg: Two questions. The first one refers to State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Will he attend the ASEAN foreign ministers' meetings taking place later this week? Do you have any details around his attendance or not? And the second refers to a report by the Financial Times that says that thousands of UK firms are said to be cutting the economic ties with China. This is in anticipation of further deterioration of ties between China and the UK. This is according to the report which cites the head of the Conferation of British Industry. Do you have any response?

Zhao Lijian: Regarding the first question, we will post the news in a timely manner, please keep your attention. Zhao lijian: On your first question, we will release information in the day care. Please check back for updates.

Regarding the second question, there is no factual basis for remarks. Recently, in the premiere of the British Conservative Party, the two candidates also delivered some negative remarks. We have shown China's position. This does not mean that the economic and trade relations between China and Britain will further deteriorate.

On your second question, these words have no factual basis. In the latest round of the UK's Conservative Party leadership election, the two candidates also made negative remarks about China. We have made clear China's position. But that does not mean there will necessarily be Deteriorational of China-Uk Economic and Trade Ties.

Reporter of the Broadcasting Corporation of the United States: First, the official schedule of Pelosi shows that she will visit Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, etc., obviously did not mention Taiwan. What is China's comment? Is it optimistic for this? Second, you mentioned that "the Chinese army will never sit and see it." Can you explain in detail what does this mean? What may happen if Perlix visits Taiwan?

NPR: Two questions about Nancy Pelosi's visit to Asia. The first is that in her official schedule, she said she's going to Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan. There was obviously no mention of Taiwan. What's China's take on that? Is that Cautimism? The Second Question is, you said the mility would not sit by idly. Can you elaborative on that? What are we likely to see if visit taiwan?

Zhao Lijian: Regarding the first question, we saw the relevant statements issued by the President of Pelose, as well as the Twitter issued by her own and related reports. I had already clearly showed the position of the Chinese government very clearly.

Zhao Lijian: On your first question, we’ve seen the press release issued by Speaker Pelosi’s office, her own tweets and the press reports. I have made the Chinese government’s position very clear just now.

Regarding the second question, as the third figure of the US government, Pelosi's identity determines that she will be highly sensitive to visiting Taiwan. No matter when she and how to go to Taiwan in Taiwan, they will seriously violate the provisions of a China principle and the three joint communiqués of China and the United States. It will seriously damage Sino -US relations and will cause bad political impact. If the Speakers of Pelosi visit Taiwan, China will take firm response and strong countermeasures to defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity. As for what measures, if she dares to go, let us wait and see.

On your second question, Pelosi is the third highest-ranking official in the US government, which means it would be highly sensitive for her to visit Taiwan no matter what. Whatever the timing or way she chooses to go to Taiwan, it will seriously violate the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués and seriously undermine China-US relations. It will undoubtedly create an egregious political impact. If Pelosi visits Taiwan, the Chinese side will respond resolutely and take strong countermeasures to defend Our Sovereigny and Territorial Integrity. As for what the peoples will be, let's see what happy,

Phoenix Satellite TV reporter: Kobe, a strategic communication coordinator of the White House National Security Council, said that the United States did not see the specific signs of China ’s strengthening of military deployment in Taiwan. Regardless of whether Perosi visited Taiwan, a Chinese policy will not change. Reasons to the point where you have to do it or exacerbate the actual tension. What does China respond?

Phoenix TV: John Kirby, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the White House, said that the US has seen no evidence of looming Chinese military activity against Taiwan. “If such a visit occurred, it would signal no change in US policy” , He Said, Adding that is no reason for the us and China to "Come to Blows" or to "Come to Increased Physical Tension". Do you have any response?

Zhao Lijian: We have repeatedly stated that the serious concerns and serious positions of the Speaker of Pelosi's visit to Taiwan will be resolutely opposed to the visits to Taiwan, and we will take firm and powerful measures to maintain national sovereignty and territorial integrity. What I want to emphasize is that a Chinese principle is the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait. It is the United States that constantly distort and hollow out a Chinese policy, express irresponsible remarks, and make tensions in the manufacturing situation. The United States recently emphasized that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of each country must be maintained. We hope that the United States will first speak the same words and deeds on the Taiwan issue, and do not engage in dual standards.

Zhao Lijian: The Chinese side has repeatedly made clear our serious concern over Speaker Pelosi's potential visit to Taiwan and our firm opposition to the visit. We will take firm and strong measures to safeguard our sovereignty and territorial integrity. I would like to stress that the one-China principle is what underpins peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. It is the US side that has kept distorting and hollowing out the one-China policy, making irresponsible remarks and creating factors of tension on the Taiwan question. The US has recently begun to emphasize the importance of upholding all countries' sovereignty and territorial integrity. We hope the US will honor those words first and foremost on the Taiwan question and refrain from applying double standards.13

Australian Australian TV reporter: Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Fangzheng gave a speech on the 29th that maintaining a high -level frank dialogue with China is necessary to cooperate with China on issues such as Qi and North Korea. He also expressed so -called concerns on issues of China -Russia relations, South China Sea, East China Sea, and Taiwan Straits. what opinions do the Chinese have on this issue?

MASTV: Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi said in his remarks at a US-based think tank on July 29 that it's essential to maintain high-level and candid communication with China and to cooperate with China on matters such as climate change and the Korean Peninsula nuclear Issue. He Also Expressed So-Called ConcessS Over China-Russia Relations and the Issues Related to the South China Sea, The East China Sea and the Taiwan Strait.

Zhao Lijian: The Japanese side repeatedly expressed his remarks to discredit the normal military and marine activities of China, interfered in China's internal affairs, and provoked regional division and confrontation. This approach is not constructive.

Zhao Lijian: Japan has been mischaracterizing China’s normal military and maritime activities, which constitutes interference in China’s internal affairs and stokes division and confrontation in the region. This is by no means constructive.

What I want to emphasize is that China adheres to the path of peaceful development and firmly pursues the nuclear strategy of self -defense defense. Sino -Russian military cooperation is in line with international law and international practice and does not target any particular country. Taiwan is an inseparable part of the Chinese territory. The Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affairs and cannot interfere with any external forces. On the other hand, the Japanese side, the Japanese side in the East China Sea's right -wing nourishment and attracting the fields of the field, and the United States showed off its strength in the South China Sea. This is the true threat of regional peace and stability. The Japanese side has long been self -proclaimed with nuclear weapons and enjoyed the "nuclear umbrella" as shelter in the United States. However, it opposes and obstructs the United States to give up the first use of nuclear military policies, and even shared it with the United States. This position is hypocritical and contradictory. I want to stress that China is committed to the path of peaceful development and firmly pursues a nuclear strategy of self-defense. China-Russia military cooperation is consistent with international law and international practice and does not target any specific country. Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair and brooks no interference from external forces. What has Japan done? On the East China Sea, Japan has connived at the trouble-making right-wing forces and invited non-regional countries to interfere in the issue. On the South China Sea, Japan has been flexing its muscles along with the US in the area. This is what truly poses a threat to regional peace and stability. For a long time, Japan has characterized itself as a victim of nuclear weapons and sat comfortably under the US's nuclear umbrella, yet Japan has been against and hindering the US's renouncing of the first use of nuclear weapons, and even suggested th E publicity of nuclear sharing with the us.
