At 10 a.m. on March 7, the Second Session of the 14th National People's Congress held a press conference in the Press Conference Hall of the Media Center. Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, answered questions related to "China's Foreign Policy and Foreign Relations". Chinese and foreign reporters asked questions.

##Lianhe Zaobao reporter asked questions: 台湾地区选举结束后，外界担忧台海紧张局势会进一步升级，并将冲击区域和平与稳定。您认为两岸和平统一的前景是否正变得暗淡？您如何看待目前台海局势？各方应采取什么措施，避免紧张局势升级？谢谢。

##Wang Yi pointed out: The election in Taiwan is only a local election in China. The election results cannot change the basic fact that Taiwan is part of China, nor can they change the historical trend that Taiwan will surely return to the motherland. 选举结束后，180多个国家和国际组织重申坚持一个中国原则，支持中方维护国家主权和领土完整，充分说明一个中国原则已经是国际社会的普遍共识。如果现在还有人纵容支持“台独”，那就是挑战中国的主权。如果个别国家执意与台湾地区保持官方关系，那就是干涉中国的内政。我相信，大家迟早会看到一张国际社会遵守一中原则的“全家福”照片，这只是个时间问题。

Wang Yi said that the separatist act of "Taiwan independence" is the most destructive factor for peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. To truly maintain peace across the Taiwan Strait, we must take a clear-cut stand against "Taiwan independence." The stronger we adhere to the one-China principle, the more guaranteed peace across the Taiwan Strait will be.

Wang Yi pointed out that our policy is very clear, which is to continue to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity. Our bottom line is also very clear, that is, we will never allow Taiwan to separate from the motherland. Anyone on Taiwan who wants to engage in "Taiwan independence" will surely be liquidated by history. Anyone in the world who condone and supported "Taiwan independence" will surely burn himself and suffer the bitter consequences. The two sides of the Taiwan Strait are connected by flesh and blood, and the national roots cannot be separated. All descendants of the Yellow Emperor and all descendants of the dragon should uphold national justice, jointly oppose "Taiwan independence" and support peaceful reunification.
