The U.S. uses the UN podium to accuse the Chinese Foreign Ministry for groundless accusations and refutes

　　China News Service, September 23. According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin made a statement on the China-related speech of the US leader at the United Nations General Assembly.

Wang Wenbin pointed out that it is regrettable that the United States used the United Nations podium, ignored facts, fabricated lies, and made groundless accusations and smears against China for ulterior political purposes. China firmly opposes this.

Facts have once again proved that unilateralism and bullying are the most serious threats facing the world.

　　"Lies cannot replace the truth. The whole world sees China's response to the epidemic very clearly, and the people have their own opinions. The new crown virus is the common enemy of all mankind. China is a victim of the virus and a contributor to the global fight against the epidemic." Wang Wenbin pointed out, China reported the epidemic as soon as possible, identified the pathogen as soon as possible, and shared the genetic sequence with the world as soon as possible.

After determining the human-to-human transmission of the virus, China made a decisive decision to close the passage out of Wuhan at the first time. The Chinese side imposed the strictest closure and traffic control on the external passages of Hubei Province and Wuhan City. "Four types of personnel" found among the personnel left the country.

　　Wang Wenbin said that on January 23, when China closed the passage from Han to Han, there were only 9 confirmed cases in countries and regions outside of China, and only one in the United States.

On January 31, the United States suspended direct flights between China and the United States. On February 2, the United States closed its borders to all Chinese citizens. At that time, the United States announced only more than 10 confirmed cases.

China’s anti-epidemic action is open and transparent, time latitude and longitude are clear, and facts are clear at a glance.

　　"The United States has repeatedly made groundless accusations against China on the issue of the epidemic, with the purpose of trying to throw off the responsibility of its own country's ineffective response to the epidemic. This is completely futile." Wang Wenbin emphasized that the United States has unreasonably attacked and withdrawn from the World Health Organization, endangering global resistance. The epidemic cooperation will not only bring harm to the people of the world, but also cause the people of our country to continue to pay a heavy price.

What the United States has to do now is to stop political manipulation, abandon the labelling and politicization of the virus, and work with the international community to fight the epidemic, rather than shirk responsibility and discredit others.

　　Wang Wenbin pointed out that the facts are also clear on climate change and environmental protection issues.

China actively assumes international responsibilities in line with its own development stage and national conditions, and has implemented a series of policy actions, and the results are obvious to all.

"We have completed the 2020 climate action goal ahead of schedule, and made a major contribution to the global response to climate change. China's non-fossil energy has risen to nearly 15% of total energy consumption, and the installed capacity of renewable energy has accounted for 30% of the world’s total. It accounts for 44% of the total, and the number of new energy vehicles has accounted for more than half of the world. Since 2000, a quarter of the global green area has come from China."

　　Wang Wenbin said that China will update and increase its national independent contribution, adopt more powerful policies and measures, strive to reach the peak of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.

This further reflects China's willingness to work with other countries to build a vigorous, clean and beautiful world and its responsibility to build a community with a shared future for mankind.

　　Wang Wenbin stated that China actively participates in global climate governance, is the first batch of signatories to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and has made important contributions to the conclusion of the Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement and its implementation rules.

With the joint efforts of China and all parties, a series of decisions on adhering to multilateralism and reflecting the consensus of all parties on climate governance were reached at the 2019 UN Climate Change Madrid Conference, laying the foundation for subsequent negotiations.

　　"In contrast, the United States, as the country with the most accumulated greenhouse gas emissions in the world, has neither ratified the Kyoto Protocol nor withdrawn from the Paris Agreement, denies its own binding and quantitative emission reduction tasks, and refuses to take minimum actions to protect the earth’s homeland. Leaving outside the global carbon emission system and arrangements, it has severely hindered the process of global emission reduction and green and low-carbon development.” Wang Wenbin said that the United States is the world’s largest exporter of solid waste and a major consumer of plastic per capita, but refused The ratification of the "Basel Convention" created obstacles to the global plastic waste management process, and transferred a large amount of waste waste to developing countries, which brought great harm to the local and global environment.

What qualifications does such a country have to blame China?

　　"We urge the United States to stop playing political games, abandon unilateralism, and fulfill its due responsibilities for the world," said Wang Wenbin.
