Wang Wenbin: China has no interest and has never interfered in the internal affairs of the United States. Some American politicians suffer from "anti-China delusions."
China News Service, Beijing, September 24 (Reporter Zhang Weiran) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on the 24th that China has no interest and has never interfered in the internal affairs of the United States.
He also pointed out that some American politicians are suffering from "anti-China delusion", which will continue to be condemned and resisted by people of insight in the United States.
According to reports, U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo delivered a speech in Wisconsin on the 23rd, asking U.S. state and local officials to be alert to Chinese diplomats to induce them to participate in Chinese propaganda and espionage activities.
Regarding the above report, Wang Wenbin said that local cooperation and cultural exchanges are an important part of Sino-US relations.
Strengthening the local and cultural exchanges between the two countries is the common aspiration of the Chinese and American people and is in the common interests of both sides.
China has no interest and has never interfered in the internal affairs of the United States.
The Chinese embassies and consulates in the United States and various people's organizations have always acted in accordance with international law and bilateral agreements between China and the United States. The interactions with governments at all levels in the United States are aimed at promoting mutual understanding, exchanges and cooperation between the two countries.
"Pompeo's remarks ignore the facts and are pure lie. China firmly opposes this. We have also noticed that many people in the United States have criticized Pompeo, thinking that his speech is entirely under the guise of diplomacy and serves internal affairs. The agenda is clearly out of political self-interest." Wang Wenbin said.
He pointed out that for a period of time, some American politicians have suffered from "anti-China delusion", constantly slandering and discrediting the normal activities of Chinese institutions and individuals in the United States, using exaggeration of China's threats to obstruct the undermining of normal Sino-US exchanges and cooperation for political self-interest.
This will continue to be condemned and resisted by people of insight from all walks of life in the United States.
Wang Wenbin said that we once again urge Pompeo and his like to abandon the Cold War mentality and ideological prejudice, respect the facts, stop fabricating all kinds of lies about China, and stop disrupting normal Sino-US exchanges and cooperation.
