“This will set the Chinese back years. China isn't going to give up on chipmaking … but this will really slow them [down].”

“I said: 'If you think that Americans and others will continue to invest in China based on your violating the sanctions that have been imposed on Russia, I think you're making a gigantic mistake. But that's your decision to make'. The call was not to threaten the Chinese president but to warn about the consequences of ignoring Western sanctions. Thus far, there's no indication they've put forward weapons or other things that Russia has wanted.”

“China won't allow another case like 'Pelosi's visit' to happen again, which means we won't let this visit to set a bad example for more countries such as the UK, France and Germany to follow suit, further hollowing out our sovereignty over Taiwan.”

“She's a high-ranking official in the U.S. government. But it is not unusual. I was there three months ago with five other senators. We have a longstanding history of visiting Taiwan. And so we can't let the Chinese say who can and cannot visit Taiwan.”

“The United States is not going to be intimidated by China's threats or bellicose rhetoric. We will continue to support Taiwan, defend a free and open Indo-Pacific and seek to maintain communication with Beijing. United States will not engage in sabre-rattling. China might engage in economic coercion toward Taiwan. The impact on American-Chinese relations will depend on Beijing's actions in the coming days and weeks.”

“China probably saw in Ukraine that you don't achieve quick, decisive victories with underwhelming force. Our sense is that it [Russia's five-month-old war in Ukraine] probably affects less the question of whether the Chinese leadership might choose some years down the road to use force to control Taiwan, but how and when they would do it. I suspect the lesson that the Chinese leadership and military are drawing is that you've got to amass overwhelming force if you're going to contemplate that in the future.”

“Despite the complexities of our relationship, I can say with some confidence that our delegations found today's discussions useful, candid and constructive. I shared again with the state councillor that we are concerned about the PRC's alignment with Russia. The relationship between the United States and China is highly consequential for our countries but also for the world. We are committed to managing this relationship, this competition, responsibly.”

“Our policy hasn't changed. But unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the same for the PRC [People's Republic of China]. The PRC moves threaten to undermine peace and stability. That isn't just a US interest, it's a matter of international concern. The US would maintain its active presence across the Asia Pacific. We will fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows, and we will do this alongside our partners. Let me be clear, we do not seek confrontation or conflict. We do not seek a new Cold War, an Asian NATO or a region split into hostile blocs… [but] we will defend our interests without flinching.”

“The US is not seeking conflict with China nor to sever our economy from the PRC. We don't want a new cold war, but we can't rely on Beijing to change its behavior. The US is being vigilant over the alliance between Russia and China, threatening Beijing with consequences if the Chinese authorities ever decide to send military equipment to Russia. Quite frankly, I think Russia and Putin will be a pariah for a very long time and I'm not sure the PRC will benefit.”

“Beijing could have abstained, but it used the veto to publicly signal its growing disagreement with and resentment toward Washington. Everyone knew that the veto would send a wrong and dangerous message to North Korea, but Russia and China believe they face higher stakes in pushing back against their perceived hostility from the Western countries. Beijing and Moscow also genuinely see North Korea's nuclear and missile developments as driven by threats from Washington and cannot be fully blamed on Pyongyang. We have a perception gap problem among the major powers. North Korea is only exploiting and benefiting from it.”

“It's fairly clear that Xi Jinping views his most important legacy as making China a superpower, as returning China to what he sees as its historically rightful place as a world power. And that means economic growth, but it also means becoming a military power that's able to exert a large influence on politics in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. For the US, focusing on competition with China is one of the few things that unites Republicans and Democrats. There's definitely a desire to preserve America's superpower status and its influence in the world order, which does mean that these two countries do have conflicting objectives to a certain extent. So, there is certainly potential for tensions at the very least.”

“The Biden administration strategy can be summed up in three words: invest, align, compete. We will invest in the foundations of our strength here at home - our competitiveness, our innovation, our democracy. We will align our efforts with our network of allies and partners acting with common purpose and in common cause, and harnessing these two key assets we'll compete with China to defend our interests and build our vision for the future. Washington is not seeking to block Beijing's role as a major power, but is looking to protect the rules-based order, which maintains global stability and has enabled China's own rise. We are not looking for conflict or a new Cold War. To the contrary, we're determined to avoid both.”

“I have noted those remarks of the US side. We deplore and reject Secretary Blinken's statement. Since China and the US established diplomatic ties in 1979, US administrations, including the current one, have all clearly stated that they would adhere to the one-China policy. The China-US Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations and the August 17 Communiqué clearly noted that 'the United States of America recognized the Government of the People's Republic of China as the sole legal government of China, and it acknowledged the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China.' In the Shanghai Communiqué, the U.S. side also declared that 'The United States acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China. The United States Government does not challenge that position.' The US admits that Taiwan is part of China, but keeps talking about the mainland's potential aggression of Taiwan. Isn't this self-contradictory since a country can not 'invade' part of its own territory? The US leadership has stated on multiple occasions that the US does not support 'Taiwan independence'. However, the US side has not stopped selling arms to and having official contact with Taiwan, which have sent wrong signals to 'Taiwan independence' forces. We have this stern warning for the US side: The historical trend of China's reunification cannot be held back, and the one-China principle is what underpins peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. The US side shall not underestimate the strong resolve, determination and capability of the 1.4 billion Chinese people in defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Reneging on the commitment will push Taiwan to dangerous waters and bring unbearable cost to the US itself.”

“I stated China's solemn position on US lawmakers' visit to Taiwan yesterday. China firmly opposes any form of official interaction between the US and the Taiwan region. Members of the US Congress should act in consistence with the US government's one-China policy. The US side should abide by the one-China principle and the stipulations of the three China-US joint communiqués, stop official exchanges with Taiwan and avoid making irresponsible remarks. The Chinese side will continue to take strong measures to resolutely safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity. I believe you have all noticed the statement released by the PLA Eastern Theater Command. The relevant moves by the Chinese army are a countermeasure to the US negative actions recently, including the lawmakers' visit to Taiwan.”
