It is US that is the gorilla in the room

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's reckless visit to China's Taiwan island on Aug 2 has directly escalated the tensions across the Taiwan Straits and aroused widespread concern and criticism from the international community. China's countermeasures against Pelosi's provocative move are justified and reasonable. They are necessary measures to not only safeguard China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, but also provide strong support for regional peace and stability.

The United States has compounded its mistake by falsely claiming that it is China's actions that have escalated tensions across the Taiwan Straits and had a serious impact on regional peace and stability. This has given the world a deeper understanding of the need for China to take firm actions to counter the US' malicious provocations.

The wrong move by the US is a serious challenge to the international order and a grave threat to peace across the Straits and regional stability.
