China News Agency, Beijing, July 8th (Li Jingze) "Can you believe what the FBI said?" In response to a reporter's question about the FBI's recent negative remarks involving China, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on the 8th Said at a regular press conference. Zhao Lijian pointed out that the remarks of individual US officials ignore basic facts and are full of political lies, and China firmly opposes this.
It is reported that on the 7th, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray said in his speech that China is the biggest long-term threat to US information security, intellectual property rights and the economy. Nearly half of all FBI cases currently under investigation are related to China. The "fox hunt" implemented by China is an improper law enforcement action that threatens and intimidates some Chinese people in the United States. At the regular press conference held on the same day, some reporters asked questions about the US remarks.
"Can you believe what the FBI said?" Zhao Lijian responded, "I regret that US foreign policy has been swayed and kidnapped by FBI officials like Lei and other anti-China forces. You just mentioned some US cases, and I also pay attention When he arrived, Lei blatantly claimed that the FBI handled a Chinese-related case every 10 hours. They should not think that the Chinese security department is vegetarian!"
Zhao Lijian pointed out that the remarks of individual US officials ignored basic facts and were full of political lies, which fully exposed their deep-rooted Cold War thinking and ideological prejudice. China firmly opposes this. I want to emphasize that recently some US politicians have repeatedly made unjustified accusations against China, flaunting the so-called "China threat" in an attempt to divert attention and cover up their own problems. Their plots are clearly seen by the world, and they are destined not to succeed.
In response to the US remarks about "fox hunting", Zhao Lijian emphasized that combating transnational crime is a broad consensus of the international community. China’s launch of the "fox hunt" overseas to capture the suspects who fled abroad is to safeguard legal dignity and social justice. In recent years, many countries have actively carried out relevant law enforcement cooperation with China. "Does US officials make such a statement, is it to hope that the United States will become a "crime avoidance paradise" for criminals?"
He further stated that we urge individual U.S. officials to correct their mistakes immediately, stop making erroneous China-related remarks, stop making political lies day after day, and stop practices that impair mutual trust and cooperation between the two countries. (Finish)
