"The frequent flexing of force by U.S. warships under the guise of 'freedom of navigation' is not a commitment to freedom and openness, but a provocation seeking unconditional trespassing and a deliberate attempt to undermine regional peace and stability. China once again urges the U.S. side to immediately stop fudging, hollowing out and distorting the one-China principle, abide by the basic norms governing international relations of respecting other countries' sovereignty and territorial integrity and non-interference in their internal affairs, earnestly observe the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, and refrain from being a troublemaker disturbing peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait."

5. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Zhao Lijian, spokesman, Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
"I would like to stress that the one-China principle has a clear meaning, that is, there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is a part of China; the government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China; there is no room for ambiguity on this key question. China hopes that the EU will continue to abide by the one-China principle and earnestly respect China's core interests and major concerns, as well as take concrete actions to abide by commitments on Taiwan question, so as to avoid moves affecting China-EU relations.''

"I don't think it's a big deal that Chinese drones fly over Chinese territory."

China's foreign ministry on Monday urged the United States to stop being a "troublemaker" disturbing peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
More than 20 days after the massive military drills by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) encircled Taiwan island to respond to the provocative visit by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the U.S. sent two Ticonderoga-class cruisers on Sunday to sail through the Taiwan Strait. The PLA announced that the entire passage of the U.S. warships had been monitored and everything was under control.
Taking a question regarding the provocations from the U.S. side, foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said the action is not about the "freedom of navigation" but a deliberate sabotage of regional peace and stability.
"The frequent flexing of force by U.S. warships under the guise of 'freedom of navigation' is not a commitment to freedom and openness, but a provocation seeking unconditional trespassing and a deliberate attempt to undermine regional peace and stability. China once again urges the U.S. side to immediately stop fudging, hollowing out and distorting the one-China principle, abide by the basic norms governing international relations of respecting other countries' sovereignty and territorial integrity and non-interference in their internal affairs, earnestly observe the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, and refrain from being a troublemaker disturbing peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait," said Zhao.
Regarding recent comments about Taiwan made by Josep Borrell, high representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Zhao urged the European Union to continue abiding by the one-China principle.
"I would like to stress that the one-China principle has a clear meaning, that is, there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is a part of China; the government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China; there is no room for ambiguity on this key question. China hopes that the EU will continue to abide by the one-China principle and earnestly respect China's core interests and major concerns, as well as take concrete actions to abide by commitments on Taiwan question, so as to avoid moves affecting China-EU relations," he said.
The spokesman also took a separate question regarding drones from the Chinese mainland taking photos of the Kinmen Island in Taiwan, located about 10 kilometers east of the Chinese coastal city of Xiamen in Fujian province.
"I don't think it's a big deal that Chinese drones fly over Chinese territory," he said.
