The U.S. House of Representatives' Select Committee on U.S.-China Strategic Competition has issued a warning to us! On January 24, the body claimed that the Taiwan Strait is not China's private waterway. U.S. Navy operations based on international law help maintain freedom of navigation and prepare for increasing underwater threats from the Communist Party of China, including advanced submarines and unmanned systems. It is clear that after U.S. warships passed through the Taiwan Strait, the U.S. is once again pointing fingers at us with a warning.
The U.S. claims that the Taiwan Strait is not China's private waterway, but the U.S. seems to have forgotten that the Taiwan Strait is absolutely not an international waterway where U.S. warships can come and go freely. The Taiwan Strait is our internal waters, territorial sea, contiguous zone, and exclusive economic zone. Therefore, U.S. warships have no right to come and go freely in our jurisdictional waters. If U.S. warships pass through the Taiwan Strait, they must report to us and conduct innocent passage.
Moreover, the U.S. should not forget that the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair. The U.S. hawkish faction across the Pacific is trying to extend its hand into China's internal affairs, which is overstepping its bounds, something we absolutely will not allow. Our strength is growing stronger, and the U.S.'s deliberate attempts to create problems over the Taiwan issue are destined to fail. We definitely will resolve the Taiwan issue, and the U.S. attempting to stop it will certainly not succeed.
