There are three spokespersons: Hua Chunying, Wang Wenbin, and Zhao Lijian.

　　"I am very happy and honored to meet you at this podium. I have 27 years of diplomatic experience, but as a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I am still a newcomer." Wang Wenbin told reporters at the scene, "I will work hard to My predecessors studied, sincerely communicated with the majority of journalist friends, and introduced you to China's foreign policy and diplomatic concepts in a timely and accurate manner, so as to enhance mutual understanding and friendship between Chinese and foreign people."
