BEIJING - In response to Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi's visit to China's Taiwan region, ambassadors to China from multiple countries have expressed their firm support for the one-China principle and urged the United States to cease interfering in China's internal affairs.

Russian Ambassador to China Andrey Denisov said Pelosi's visit to Taiwan was a blatant provocation. He called on the US side to cease any actions that undermine regional stability and international security

Russian Ambassador to China Andrey Denisov said Pelosi's visit to Taiwan was a blatant provocation. He called on the US side to cease any actions that undermine regional stability and international security.

He said Russia's principles and position are consistent. Russia abides by the one-China principle, recognizes Taiwan as an inalienable part of China's territory, and opposes any form of "Taiwan independence."

"There is only one China in the world, and the government of the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing the whole of China," Denisov said, adding that Pelosi's visit blatantly violated the commitments made by the United States in the communique on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, infringed on China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and violated the basic norms of international relations.

The Taiwan question falls purely under China's internal affairs, and China has every reason to take necessary measures on the Taiwan question to safeguard its national sovereignty and territorial integrity, Denisov said. 

Cuban Ambassador to China Carlos Miguel Pereira said that Cuba unswervingly and unconditionally supports the one-China principle, and that the US provocation on the Taiwan question is doomed to fail.

The United States should clearly recognize that the Taiwan question falls entirely under China's internal affairs, and other countries have no right to interfere, he said.

In response to US accusations targeting China's countermeasures, Pereira said such accusations are tricks that the United States is playing to shirk its responsibilities. He called on the United States to earnestly respect other countries, avoid confrontation, and achieve mutual benefits and win-win results.
