In the United States, the "China Association for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification" is listed as a "diplomatic mission". China responds

The Chinese side responded that the "China Association for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification" in the United States was listed as a "diplomatic mission": the restrictions and discrimination adopted by the United States on it are unreasonable

　　China News Service, Beijing, October 29 (Li Jingze) US Secretary of State Pompeo recently issued a statement that he will be listed as a "diplomatic mission" in the United States by the "China Association for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification".

In response to this, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin stated at a regular press conference on the 29th that the US restrictions and discrimination against it are unreasonable.

　　A reporter asked questions. According to reports, US Secretary of State Pompeo issued a statement that the "China Council for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification" in the United States will be listed as a "diplomatic mission" and that the United States will terminate the "Regarding the Establishment of the Sino-US Provincial Governors Forum and Promotion of Local Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding, because the CPAFFC influences state and local leaders in the United States.

How does China respond to this?

　　Wang Wenbin said that Pompeo's statement and the measures taken by the US are political operations based on ideological bias, and they are engaging in neo-McCarthyism, which runs counter to the willingness of the Chinese and American people to strengthen dialogue and exchanges.

He elaborated on a few basic facts:

　　First, the "China Association for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification" in the United States is an organization spontaneously established by overseas Chinese in the United States and legally registered locally to promote the peaceful reunification of China and promote non-governmental friendship between China and the United States.

The US restrictions and discrimination against it are unreasonable.

　　Second, the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries is a non-governmental organization that promotes friendly exchanges and cooperation between China and other countries in the world, including the United States.

The All-China Friendship Association takes it as its mission to promote mutual understanding among people of all countries and promote friendly exchanges among all countries, and has been widely welcomed by all countries.

The U.S. attack on this institution is entirely based on a villain’s heart, exposing the dark psychology and sinister intentions of Pompeo and others.

　　Third, the "Memorandum of Understanding on Establishing the Sino-US Provincial Governors Forum to Promote Local Cooperation" was initiated by the US in 2011 and signed by both parties.

As an important institutional exchange platform between the two countries, the China-U.S. Provincial Governors Forum has been successfully held for 5 sessions so far. The local governments of both countries have actively participated in it and achieved fruitful results. It has also brought great tangibility to the two peoples. Interests.

The U.S. unilaterally terminated the memorandum in an attempt to weaken and dismantle the bridge between the two peoples. Such perverse acts will surely be rejected by the people and history.

　　Wang Wenbin said that we advise Pompeo and his like to stop making lies and sabotaging Sino-US relations, and not to go further and further down the wrong path.
