China News Agency, Beijing, July 9 (Li Jingze, Zhang Su) US Secretary of State Pompeo recently accused China of multiple issues such as the political system and epidemic response. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on the 9th that the facts cannot be fabricated, and that lies are repeated a thousand times.
Zhao Lijian said that for a period of time, Pompeo chattered up various "fake news", carried out extensive attacks on China to discredit, incited other countries' relations with China, and fully exposed its deep-rooted Cold War zero-sum thinking and ideological prejudice.
Zhao Lijian emphasized that facts cannot be fabricated, and that lies are repeated a thousand times. We advise this American politician to correct his mistakes and stop spreading the "political virus", so as not to become a laughing stock for the international community.
Another reporter asked Pompeo on the 8th that China claimed to have notified the World Health Organization of the epidemic, but we now know that this is not the case. The CCP has serious credibility problems and has not told the world the truth about the new coronavirus. This is a fatal flaw of the authoritarian regime. The CCP should be held accountable. What is your comment?
"First of all, I want to say, Mr. Pompeo, stop talking to us about credibility, truth and responsibility. You are not tired, we are tired of hearing," said Zhao Lijian.
He said that when it comes to credibility, the United States has repeatedly betrayed its international commitments and obligations under the banner of "America First" in recent years. Breaking contracts and retreating from addiction has become the biggest "troublemaker". Speaking of the truth, I would like to ask Mr. Pompeo if the US government can tell the truth to the American people about the Fort Detrick Biological Base, the "e-cigarette disease", and the US biological laboratories all over the world. Also give an explanation to the international community?
"Speaking of responsibility, in less than half a year, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in the United States has exceeded 3 million, and the number of deaths has exceeded 130,000. The US government does have an inescapable responsibility for this," Zhao Lijian said.
"Under the circumstances of self-defeating and moral bankruptcy, I do not know what kind of face and courage the Pompeo and his courage have to talk about credibility, truth and accountability? Advise the US to listen to the international community's strong enthusiasm for the frequent breaches of the US Oppose the call," Zhao Lijian said.
He pointed out that after the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia, China notified WHO as soon as possible. The timeline announced by both parties clearly lists the relevant facts, which can be verified by each other. Pompeo turned a blind eye to the facts that the international community had witnessed. He was blind to making up the facts, "scrapping the pot" to blame, and blaming others. He could not conceal the US's own mistakes in resisting the epidemic and could only expose its lies and deception time and time again. By nature, the world will only see the hypocrisy, arrogance, and ignorance of some people in the United States. (Finish)
