A reporter asked questions in response to reports that the Trump administration was considering imposing visa restrictions on all Chinese Communist Party members. US Secretary of State Pompeo said in an interview that the United States wants to ensure that this is done in a manner consistent with American tradition. The President and our The team is studying many ideas. A White House spokesperson said that for China, all our options are on the table. What's China's response to this?
Hua Chunying said that this report from the US media yesterday caused a great reaction among the Chinese people. Many people said on the Internet that "I am a member of the Communist Youth League", "I am a young pioneer", and others said "as is the case in the United States, please do not go to me if you ask me to go."
She pointed out that the US official has not come out to clarify whether this is FakeNews (fake news). "If it is true, the United States will choose to openly confront the 1.4 billion Chinese people and openly stand against the one-fifth of the world's population. This is completely contrary to the wishes of the people of China and the United States and the trend of the 21st century, which is very absurd."
Hua Chunying said that the US should know that the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is under the leadership of the Communist Party of China that the Chinese people have won independence, freedom and liberation, and have continuously made great achievements in the process of national construction and development.
She emphasized that practice has proved that the socialist road with Chinese characteristics not only freed 1.4 billion Chinese people from poverty and backwardness, but also made the Chinese nation once again make a major contribution to the cause of human progress. No country, no person, no force has any qualifications to deny the path chosen by the Chinese people, which has been proved to be correct by practice, and it has no ability to stop China from continuing unswervingly along the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
"As for whether the United States chooses to be open and inclusive, or to close the door and isolate itself, this is a choice that should be made by the American people and the US government. The world is waiting to see." Hua Chunying said. (Finish)
