We are deeply concerned. The U.S. side, with its erroneous remarks, has seriously violated the principles of the three joint communiques and gone against its commitments. The Chinese Government and people express their strong indignation and opposition toward it. The question of Taiwan has always been the most important and sensitive issue at the core of Sino-U.S. relations. The Chinese Government and people are resolute in their determination to safeguard China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and no one should miscalculate.
Nobody can hinder the process of realization of national reunification by the Chinese people.
The United States has rejected the Kyoto Protocol. While other countries are joining their efforts to bring the Kyoto Protocol into force as early as possible, the U.S. Government has declared that it will refuse to send the Kyoto Protocol to Congress for ratification. This has raised serious concerns in the international community. The U.S. Government's refusal reflects its irresponsibility toward the global environment. The energy consumption and GHGs emissions originating in developing countries will continue to increase to meet their social and development needs.
