China News Agency, United Nations, October 9th. The 75th UN General Assembly Disarmament and International Security Committee (referred to as the First Committee of the UN General Assembly) held a general debate on the 9th.
Regarding the US representative’s speech on the same day to attack China, Ambassador Geng Shuang, China’s deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, refuted it, pointing out that the US is the biggest threat to global strategic security and stability.
The U.S. representative once again denigrated China on the new crown pneumonia epidemic that day, and said that Russia and China continue to develop nuclear power, and international peace and security are therefore seriously threatened.
Geng Shuang exercised the right of reply in accordance with the rules of procedure of the UN General Assembly.
Geng Shuang said that the US representative spread a political virus on the UN platform to attack and discredit China on the new crown pneumonia epidemic, which is completely unacceptable.
The rejection of blame cannot conceal the failure of the United States to fight the epidemic, nor can it deceive the international community.
China clearly rejects the groundless accusations made by the U.S. representative on China’s arms control policy during the general debate.
China has always opposed an arms race, adhered to multilateralism, implemented arms control treaties, and supported dialogue and cooperation in the security field. It has made a positive contribution to the cause of international security and disarmament.
Geng Shuang emphasized that the United States is the biggest threat to global strategic security and stability.
He pointed out that the United States is obsessed with military violence, regains the Cold War mentality, pursues unilateralism, seeks to unbind itself, engages in political manipulation, breaks strategic balance, blocks biological arms control, delays the destruction of chemical weapons, promotes "Star Wars", and builds "hacking" empire".
Geng Shuang said that these ten facts are just a summary of the United States' perverse actions in the field of international security and disarmament.
The international community sees this clearly.
The US is requested to seriously reflect on what it has done.
Geng Shuang said that multilateral arms control and disarmament processes are related to international peace and security, peace and well-being of all countries, and UN member states, big or small, rich or poor, strong or weak, have the responsibility and obligation to participate equally.
Unilateralism, exceptional thinking, and bullying simply do not work.
He pointed out that the United States, as the world's most powerful and weaponry country, has special and priority responsibilities in the field of arms control and disarmament.
Since the United States keeps chanting "America first," then it should be "prioritized performance," "destruction," and "disarmament."
Geng Shuang expressed the hope that in the follow-up work of the First Committee of the 75th UN General Assembly, the United States will work with other countries in an open, frank, responsible, and constructive manner to promote the success of the conference and advance the international arms control and disarmament process. Maintain global strategic security and stability.
The First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly is responsible for handling international security issues such as arms control, disarmament, and non-proliferation. During the meeting, countries hold general debates and discuss topics such as nuclear weapons, biological weapons, chemical weapons, conventional weapons, networks, and outer space. (Finish)
