Consul General Cai Wei accepted a joint interview with ABC and "International Focus" magazine
On July 22, Consul General Cai Wei accepted a joint interview with ABC Radio 13 and "International Focus" magazine.
Consul General Cai stated that on July 21, the US suddenly requested China to close the Chinese Consulate General in Houston, which seriously violated international law and the basic norms of international relations, seriously violated the relevant provisions of the Sino-US consular treaty, and deliberately undermined Sino-US relations, which was very unreasonable. . China strongly condemns this. China urges the US to immediately revoke the wrong decision. Otherwise, China will definitely make a proper and necessary response.
Consul General Cai emphasized that the 40-year experience of Sino-US exchanges fully proved that cooperation between the two countries will benefit both, while fighting will hurt both. As State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi pointed out in his speech at the Sino-US Think Tank Forum a few days ago, China’s US policy has not changed, and we are still willing to develop Sino-US relations in good faith and sincerity. We hope to meet the United States halfway, and work hard to build and jointly advance China-US relations based on coordination, cooperation, and stability.
Consul General Cai also refuted all kinds of lies about the US consulate in Houston, saying that even if the lies were repeated a thousand times, they would not become facts. Some U.S. politicians lied for the so-called "political correctness," but they disregarded the people's life and well-being. In the end, they will harm others and themselves. Let's put away this trick as soon as possible!
