The Chinese delegation refutes the US attack and smearing of China in the general debate of the UN General Assembly

　　China News Service, United Nations, September 23. The Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations exercised its right of reply in accordance with the rules of the United Nations General Assembly on the 23rd to refute the US leader’s attack on China during the 75th General Debate of the General Assembly.

　　The Chinese delegation stated that the United States disregarded basic facts during the general debate of the 75th UN General Assembly and attacked and smeared China. China firmly opposed this.

　　The Chinese delegation pointed out that the world today is facing severe challenges from the new crown pneumonia, facing serious threats of unilateralism, protectionism, and bullying. The world is at a crossroads where to go.

At this moment, the world needs unity and cooperation rather than confrontation, and mutual trust rather than spreading a "political virus."

　　The Chinese delegation stated that the new type of coronavirus is the common enemy of all mankind. It is another unknown virus brought to mankind by nature. It may break out at any time and anywhere.

China is a victim of the virus and a country that has contributed to the global fight against the epidemic.

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.

On January 23, when China closed the passage from Han to China, there were only 9 confirmed cases in countries and regions outside 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 Chinese delegation stated that the United States, as a developed country with the most advanced medical technology in the world, has become the country with the most severe epidemic, with more than 6 million confirmed cases and more than 200,000 deaths. The reasons for this are worth pondering.

The unprovoked accusations made by the United States against China over the epidemic are an attempt to "shake away" China's responsibility for its ineffective response to the epidemic.

The U.S. unreasonably attacked and withdrew from the World Health Organization, jeopardizing global cooperation in the fight against the epidemic, not only causing harm to the people of the world, but also causing its own people to continue to pay a heavy price.

What the United States must do now is to stop political manipulation, abandon the labeling and politicization of the virus, focus its mind and energy on fighting the domestic epidemic, and support the United Nations and the World Health Organization to play their due role.

　　The Chinese delegation pointed out that with regard to 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 completed the 2020 climate action target two years ahead of schedule and made a major contribution to the global response to climate change.

The proportion of non-fossil energy in China's total energy consumption has risen to nearly 15%. The installed capacity of renewable energy has accounted for 30% of the world's total, accounting for 44% of the global increase, and the number of new energy vehicles has accounted for more than half of the world.

Since 2000, a quarter of the world's new green area has come from China.

President Xi Jinping just further announced in the general debate of the 75th UN General Assembly that China will increase its nationally determined contribution, adopt more effective policies and measures, strive to reach its peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. with.

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.

　　The Chinese delegation 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 reaching 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.

　　The Chinese delegation stated that the United States, as the country with the most accumulated greenhouse gas emissions in the world, neither ratified the Kyoto Protocol nor withdrew from the Paris Agreement, denied its own binding and quantitative emission reduction tasks, and refused to take minimum actions to protect the earth’s homeland. Completely detached from the global carbon emission system and arrangements, seriously hindering the global emission reduction and promotion of green and low-carbon development and other related processes.

The United States is the world’s largest exporter of solid waste and a major consumer of plastic per capita. However, it refuses to ratify the Basel Convention, setting up obstacles to the global plastic waste management process, and transferring a large amount of waste waste to developing countries for local and global The environment has brought great harm.

The United States has no right to blame other countries on the issue of climate change.

　　The Chinese delegation stated that the United States has been aggressively engaging in unilateralism and bullying, and has continued to "retire" and "broke contracts," which has severely impacted the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law.

The United States flaunts its military power in various parts of the world, brutally interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, instigates "color revolutions" and undermines regional peace and stability.

The United States has regained its "Cold War mentality" and created ideological confrontation, pushing the world into a dangerous situation.

The United States has set off a trend of anti-globalization, erected protectionist barriers, and undermined the stability of the world's supply and industrial chains.

The United States has held high the stick of unilateral sanctions, frantically contained and suppressed foreign companies, in an attempt to artificially cut off the flow of capital, technology, products, industries, and people in the world.

All these pose a serious threat to world peace and development.

　　The Chinese delegation stated that we urge the US to carefully examine its own problems, change its course, and do more things that are conducive to world peace and development, instead of going further and further on the road of unilateralism and hegemony.
