China News Agency, Beijing, October 9th (Huang Yuqin) In response to US officials’ recent accusations that China "coerced other countries", Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying responded at a regular press conference on the 9th, saying that when it comes to "coercion," the international community The first reaction should be the United States.

She pointed out that it is believed that more and more countries will choose to stand up and uphold principles and justice.

　　A reporter asked questions. Recently, several US officials, including Secretary of State Pompeo and Secretary of Defense Esper, accused China of coercing other countries on different occasions.

What is China's comment?

　　"I have seen relevant reports. When it comes to'coercion', I think the first reaction of the international community should be the United States!" Hua Chunying said that for some time, some US politicians have been running around the world, threatening countries, including their allies. On all kinds of issues, we must act according to the will of the United States, or openly hype ideological confrontation, try to tie other countries into the "anti-communist and anti-China chariot", and even openly threaten to sever cooperation, aid, and sanctions to succumb to us in the world Chang, whoever goes against me perishes.

All countries feel deeply about this.

These US politicians may have forgotten that it is now the 21st century. All countries are equal regardless of their size, and there is no way out for power hegemony.

　　Hua Chunying pointed out that in response to the various remarks made by the US Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and diplomatic envoys to pressure other countries to choose sides, many countries have expressed that they will make independent decisions as sovereign states.

All these show that it is not China that is intimidating, it is not China that is engaging in confrontation, and it is not China that is engaging in lying diplomacy and instigating discord.

Disagreements or contradictions between China and the United States are definitely not a power or status dispute, nor a social system dispute. It is about maintaining justice or spreading malice, adhering to multilateralism or unilateralism, and advocating win-win cooperation or zero-sum game. The problem.

　　Hua Chunying said, we believe that more and more countries will choose to stand up, uphold principles and justice, and independently make choices that best suit their country and people's interests.
