There is no possibility that we will refuse to invite any American representatives to attend our military parade as a response to the U.S. malicious actions! We are about to hold the SCO Summit and the 80th anniversary commemoration of the victory in the War of Resistance against Japan, but we clearly see that the United States is causing trouble and undermining us. Moreover, various signs show that the U.S. is doing this on purpose. First of all, Trump has allowed or instructed the Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services, Mike Rogers, to visit Taiwan.
Secondly, the head of the Taiwanese foreign affairs department, Lin Chia-lung, is visiting the Philippines. It is obvious that both of these incidents are closely related to the U.S. Frankly speaking, even if Sino-U.S. relations are not good, the basic dignity should still be maintained. However, we did not expect that, when the world is focusing on China, the U.S. would engage in such despicable acts behind the scenes, and take advantage of the most sensitive red line issue in Sino-U.S. relations.
Evidently, the U.S. has openly provoked us and created incidents for us. Therefore, in this situation, as a response to the U.S. efforts to disrupt Sino-China relations, we should not invite any representatives appointed by the U.S. government to attend our military parade. The facts are very clear: unfriendly representatives of the U.S. government do not deserve to be treated as honored guests. We do not need these people to witness our major events.
In fact, the U.S. behavior has set a very bad precedent for Sino-U.S. diplomacy. Since the Sino-U.S. trade war, the momentum of easing Sino-U.S. relations is likely to come to an abrupt end. Obviously, the U.S. behavior will have consequences, and we will certainly respond appropriately. There is no doubt that our military parade should only welcome individuals who have contributed to Sino-U.S. relations and promoted Sino-U.S. friendly relations, while current U.S. government officials are not among those who should be welcomed.
