China News Service, Beijing, December 11 (Reporter Liang Xiaohui) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying responded to the issue of "wolf war diplomacy" for the second day in a regular press conference on the 11th.
A reporter asked a question. On December 10, EU Ambassador to China Yu Bai stated at an energy forum held in Beijing that the EU and the United States should have a unified understanding and jointly confront China’s “coercive diplomacy” and “wolf war diplomacy” against China. Say no.
What is China's comment?
"Yesterday, I explained in great detail my views on the so-called'wolf war diplomacy' by some people. As long as I review and analyze it rationally, whichever or which is provoked or threatened by China first, I think it will be successful. Draw a fair and objective conclusion. If it is just because China is “big”, it is believed that China’s telling the truth and safeguarding its own interests and dignity are “coercion” and “wolf fighting”. This is obviously unfair and correct. The stigma of China’s diplomacy.” Hua Chunying responded that an ordinary citizen has the right to exercise the right to legitimate defense in accordance with the law. Can’t China, as a sovereign country, have the right to safeguard its own sovereignty, security, and development interests?
Hua Chunying pointed out that the EU itself is the result of multilateralism and has always been proud of adhering to multilateralism.
For some time, the EU has also been a victim of unilateralism and has always emphasized the need to uphold strategic autonomy.
I think that when it comes to the principled issues of right and wrong, one should not just talk about standpoints regardless of right and wrong.
We hope that the EU will respect the facts, stand in an objective and fair position, refrain from double standards, and truly adhere to independence and open cooperation.
