"when it comes to issues concerning china's core national sovereignty interests, don't think the people's liberation army won't take action. once the people's liberation army takes action, it will strike hard."

on september 13, the 11th beijing xiangshan forum opened at the beijing international convention center. official representatives from more than 100 countries, regions and international organizations, as well as well-known experts and scholars from home and abroad gathered together.

after the meeting, on hot topics such as sino-us relations, meng xiangqing, a professor at the national defense university, said in an interview with changan street governor (wechat id: capitalnews) that the leaders of the two military zones of china and the united states had a phone call two days ago. it can be seen that the relations between the two militaries are gradually stabilizing, which is conducive to maintaining world peace and regional stability.

"but on the other hand, we must also see that the beginning of the stabilization of sino-us relations is still relatively fragile. the fundamental reason is that the united states has a directional error in its perception of china," said meng xiangqing.

meng xiangqing said that for many years, the united states has not been able to treat china's development correctly and has regarded china's normal development as a threat. in particular, in october 2022, the biden administration issued the "national security strategy report", defining china as "the only competitor of the united states that has the intention to reshape the international order and is increasingly capable of doing so in terms of economic, diplomatic, military and technological power."

"of course there is competition between china and the united states. there is competition between countries, but it is not objective to define the entire relationship between china and the united states as 'competition first'." meng xiangqing pointed out that if a person constantly trips up his opponent, pulls his sleeve, and prevents his opponent from running faster, this is called vicious competition, which will inevitably bring many negative effects.

he pointed out that the "small courtyard and high wall" proposed by the united states has completely blocked, suppressed and contained china in the high-tech field, especially on the core issue of the taiwan issue, the united states is even more aggressive. the united states says one thing and does another. although the biden administration has made a "five-point commitment" and clearly does not support "taiwan independence", it has also continued to develop relations with the taiwan authorities and escalated its arms sales to taiwan. this is an important external factor for the rampant "taiwan independence".

meng xiangqing stressed that the taiwan issue is the core of china's core interests, the foundation of the political foundation of sino-us relations, and the first insurmountable red line in sino-us relations. no force should have any illusions in this regard, otherwise it will lead to serious disasters. "taiwan independence" and peace are incompatible, and the bottom line of principles must not be crossed. "on the taiwan issue, we will resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity. don't think that the chinese people's liberation army will not take action. once the chinese people's liberation army takes action, it will be a heavy hammer."
