China News Service, Beijing, July 23 (Zhang Su, Li Jingze) The US said that the Chinese Consul General in Houston and two diplomats were recently discovered using false identities to escort Chinese passengers to the boarding gate of chartered flights. Regarding this statement, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin pointed out at a regular press conference on the 23rd that the United States is completely fabricating the reasons, and the accusations do not conform to the facts.
Wang Wenbin said that the personal information of the personnel of the Chinese embassy in the United States is open and transparent to the United States. The Chinese consular officer's entry into the restricted area of the airport was approved by the U.S. and used the identity card of the consular officer issued by the U.S. State Department to take care of Chinese citizens on temporary flights. This approach is reasonable, compliant and legal, and there are many precedents. (Finish)
