A toughly worded article in the Guangming Daily (August 16) captioned 'The United States
"uses Taiwan to control China" and is the biggest troublemaker for the stability of the Taiwan
Strait',
referred to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement "solemnly stating that Pelosi's
visit to the Taiwan region of China seriously violated the one-China principle and the
provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiques, seriously impacted the political foundation
of Sino-US relations, seriously violated China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and made
a statement to "Taiwan independence"." It accused "The separatist forces are sending seriously
wrong signals" and asserted Pelosi's visit to "Taiwan is a major provocation by the United
States against China, and it is a major event that cannot be overemphasized". Asking "Who is
destabilizing the Taiwan Strait, and who is the troublemaker in the Taiwan Strait?", it said "The
answer is very clear: whoever destroys the status quo across the Taiwan Strait is the destroyer
of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait".
