Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying's regular press conference on May 10, 2021
The second meeting of foreign ministers of the "China + Five Central Asian Countries" will be held on May 12 in Xi'an, Shaanxi. State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi will preside over the meeting.
Kazakhstan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Treuberti, Kyrgyzstan’s Foreign Minister Kazakhbayev, Tajikistan’s Foreign Minister Mukhridin, Turkmenistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Meledov, and Uzbekistan’s Foreign Minister Kamilov will come Hua attends the meeting.
China and the five Central Asian countries are friendly neighbors and strategic partners, with a profound traditional friendship and close exchanges and cooperation in various fields.
In July last year, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held the first video meeting with the foreign ministers of five Central Asia, creating a new platform for the two sides to increase mutual trust and deepen cooperation.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the independence of Central Asian countries and the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. Next year is the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Central Asian countries. All parties have high hopes for further strengthening their cooperation. The development of relations between China and Central Asian countries is facing new challenges. Historical opportunity.
Against this background, China proposed to hold the second meeting of foreign ministers of the "China + Five Central Asian Countries", which was also the first face-to-face offline meeting, which received positive responses and support from all parties.
During this meeting, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi will have an in-depth exchange of views with the five foreign ministers of Central Asia on issues of common concern such as anti-epidemic cooperation, joint construction of the “Belt and Road”, interconnection, and international cooperation, and negotiate and sign relevant outcome documents. Held a series of bilateral talks and multilateral friendly exchange activities.
It is particularly worth mentioning that Central Asia has been an important node of the Silk Road since ancient times, and it is also the birthplace of the "Silk Road Economic Belt" initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping. All countries are important partners in China's joint construction of the "Belt and Road".
This meeting was held in Xi'an, the birthplace of the ancient Silk Road, and was of special significance.
We believe that this meeting will be a complete success, promote the new development of relations between China and Central Asian countries, and help the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" cooperation to achieve new results.
Shenzhen Satellite TV reporter: On May 9, Russia held a grand military parade on Red Square in Moscow to celebrate the 76th anniversary of the victory of the Great Patriotic War. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated in his speech that individual countries are trying to regain Nazism and pursue a "national exception" policy. Russia has always defended the norms of international law and will firmly safeguard national interests and people's security. What is China's comment?
Hua Chunying: We noticed that Russia successfully held a grand military parade to commemorate the 76th anniversary of the victory of the Great Patriotic War yesterday, and we would like to express our sincere congratulations on this.
This year marks the 76th anniversary of the victory in World War II. China and Russia are the main battlefields in Asia and Europe in World War II respectively. They have made tragic national sacrifices and made great historical contributions to the final victory of World War II.
Over the past few years, some countries have pursued the wrong policies of unilateralism and protectionism, adhered to the idea of zero-sum game, and hyped up differences in ideology and political systems internationally, attempting to engage in "small circles" to create divisions and engage in group politics.
In such an international situation, China and Russia have always stood shoulder to shoulder, firmly support each other on issues involving each other’s core interests, resolutely oppose hegemony and hegemony, and jointly defend international fairness and justice.
In the face of the epidemic of the century and the changes in a century, China will continue to work with Russia and the international community to resolutely defend the victory of World War II, safeguard the hard-won peace, and firmly maintain the international system with the United Nations as the core and the international order based on international law. Adhere to the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom for all mankind, and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Reporter from China Central Radio and Television: A few days ago, WHO Director-General Tan Desai announced that China's Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine was included in the emergency use list, becoming the first non-Western vaccine in the list, and it was also the first time that China's vaccine against infectious diseases received emergency use by the World Health Organization. Authorization. What is China's comment? China previously announced that it will provide 10 million doses of vaccine to COVAX. How do you consider the next step?
Hua Chunying: As WHO Director-General Tan Desai said, China's Sinopharm's new crown vaccine is a safe, effective, and high-quality vaccine certified by the WHO.
China will continue to work with the international community to promote equitable access to vaccines in developing countries and contribute to the early victory of mankind.
China has announced that it will provide 10 million doses of vaccine to the "New Crown Vaccine Implementation Plan" (COVAX), mainly for urgent needs in developing countries.
The Chinese dialect must do it, and we are maintaining close communication with the WHO on this.
Al Jazeera reporter: It is Ramadan right now. In recent days, Israeli police broke into the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the holy Islamic site in Jerusalem, for no reason, and attacked Palestinians with rubber bullets, injuring hundreds of people. This conflict is continuing to ferment, and Israel’s provocative actions have been concerned and condemned by many countries. What's China's comment on this?
Hua Chunying: China is concerned about the escalation of tensions between Palestine and Israel in the past few days and calls for calmness and restraint to avoid more injuries caused by the conflict.
At the same time, we also hope that on the basis of the "two-state plan" and in accordance with relevant UN resolutions, relevant parties in the international community will promote the resumption of peace talks between Palestine and Israel at an early date.
China is willing to play a constructive role in this regard.
Xinhua News Agency reporter: We noticed that at the "China Poverty Reduction and Human Rights Symposium" held in Ningde City, Fujian Province on the 8th, Cuban Ambassador to China Pereira said that China has achieved a goal while fighting the new crown epidemic. The goal of eradicating extreme poverty is a heroic victory. Ambassador Pereira also stated that for more than 60 years, Cuba has suffered a blockade equivalent to genocide by the United States, and that Cuba opposes the politicization of human rights and double standards. What is China's comment?
Hua Chunying: I have also taken note of relevant reports.
This "China Poverty Reduction and Development and Human Rights Symposium" is part of a visit to Ningde, Fujian by the envoys of 13 Asian, African and Latin American countries including Cameroon, South Africa, and Cuba at the invitation of the China Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries.
The envoys, including the Cuban ambassador, said that through on-site visits and discussions, they witnessed China’s miracle of human poverty reduction and the development of human rights, and witnessed the joy of gains from the heart of the local people, and they had a deep appreciation The Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese government's people-centered development and governance philosophy.
Let people all over the world, regardless of their country, race, or cultural background, enjoy equal freedom and rights, and have decent food, clothing, health, housing, employment, and education. This is what the cause of human rights deserves.
China insists on putting the people at the center, and has always been committed to the development of human rights, ensuring national security, national harmony, people’s tranquility, social fairness and justice, economic development and prosperity, and beautiful ecological environment, so that the Chinese people can enjoy the visible, tangible, Feel the sense of happiness and security.
Letting 1.4 billion Chinese people no longer suffer from wars, poverty, hunger, and pandemic diseases is a great achievement for China's human rights cause and a great contribution made by the Communist Party of China to the world's human rights cause.
At the same time, China is also actively engaged in dialogue and cooperation with other countries in the world, and is committed to helping and supporting developing countries such as Asia, Africa and Latin America to develop their economies and benefit the people of relevant countries.
I have seen a World Bank report that by 2030, the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” is expected to help 7.6 million people around the world get rid of extreme poverty and 32 million people out of moderate poverty.
Let's look at the United States again. It chants human rights slogans, but it actually violates human rights.
For example, during this epidemic, the United States ignored the basic needs of Cuba, Venezuela, Syria, Iran and other countries to contain the epidemic and save people’s lives. It still imposed unilateral sanctions and blockades on these countries, seriously threatening the rights of local people to life and health. And basic human rights such as the right to development.
In fact, as far as Cuba is concerned, the UN General Assembly has passed by an overwhelming majority for 28 consecutive years the resolution "must end the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States against Cuba".
Human rights should not be an excuse to suppress other countries.
The United States should immediately stop and correct the wrong practices of politicizing, instrumentalizing, and double standards of human rights issues, and completely abolishing the unilateral and illegal sanctions and blockade policies against Cuba and other countries. This is also the universal call of the international community.
Korea Broadcasting Corporation reporter: The situation in Myanmar will be turbulent for a hundred days. In order to resolve the situation in Myanmar as soon as possible, China's role is very important. What is China's position on this?
Hua Chunying: Myanmar is a member of the ASEAN family. China is a neighboring country linked by mountains and rivers. China is very concerned about the current situation in Myanmar.
China supports all parties and factions in Myanmar under the constitution and legal framework to seek political solutions to their differences through dialogue, and to continue to advance the hard-won democratic transformation process that suits Myanmar’s national conditions; supports ASEAN’s adherence to the principle of non-interference in internal affairs and the tradition of consensus. As a mature regional organization, it encourages and constructively participate in Myanmar's internal reconciliation process in the way of ASEAN; supports the joint discussion of effective methods to alleviate the situation and solve problems within the ASEAN framework.
At the same time, we advocate that we should avoid continuing bloody conflicts and civilian casualties to prevent the situation from deteriorating or even getting out of control; to prevent the UN Security Council from improperly intervening to damage Myanmar’s sovereignty and further complicate the situation; to avoid some external forces from fueling the flames and adding fuel to the fire in Myanmar. Make personal gains by messing up Myanmar.
China hopes and believes that ASEAN will continue to play a constructive role, actively assist Myanmar in advancing domestic political reconciliation, and earnestly safeguard ASEAN unity and cooperation and regional peace and stability.
China will continue to maintain close communication with ASEAN, support ASEAN's mediation efforts, and continue to do the work of all parties in Myanmar in its own way, and strive to promote the early realization of a "soft landing" in the situation in Myanmar.
CCTV reporter: A few days ago, the Swedish Peace and Future Research Foundation published a special report entitled "Determining Xinjiang's "Genocide" with Ulterior Intentions"", exposing the shady behind the U.S. and Western concocting the fallacy of "genocide" related to Xinjiang; published by the American independent website Counterpunch The article entitled "Reflections on the Ultimate Crime of "Genocide"" pointed out that the US concocted Xinjiang-related "genocide" accusations are driven by ideology and have no evidence to support it. what opinions do the Chinese have on this issue?
Hua Chunying: I have noticed the relevant article.
In fact, we have also noticed that in recent times, there have been more and more objective and rational voices on Xinjiang-related issues in the world, which just shows that justice is in the hearts of the people.
You just mentioned two reports. Among them, the report of the Swedish Peace and Future Research Foundation pointed out that the US think tank’s so-called Xinjiang-related "genocide" "report" issuing agencies and writers have obvious political inclination; "report" There are serious academic irregularities and deliberately ignore important factors such as the definition of "genocide" and terrorism; the conclusion is that the so-called "report" of the American think tank is not credible, and the academic level of some chapters is not as good as that of the master's thesis, accusing China The evidence base for "genocide" is surprisingly weak.
You mentioned the two authors of articles on Counterpunch on the US website. One is an expert on human rights issues and the other is a well-known professor of international law. They elaborate on Xinjiang-related issues from a professional perspective, and their views are reasonable, well-founded, and weighty.
The article pointed out that "genocide" is clearly defined in international law, and there is no evidence to support the Xinjiang-related "genocide" allegations.
The so-called "concern about the fate of Xinjiang Uyghurs" by the US is not motivated by the protection of human rights, but by geopolitical motives.
The views of these two reports and articles coincide with those of experts, scholars, and journalists from many countries including the United States, Australia, Sweden, Norway, and Singapore.
The Chinese side has repeatedly introduced Xinjiang’s current stable development, explained the Chinese government’s policies in governing Xinjiang, and also exposed the despicable actions and sinister intentions of relevant U.S. personnel in fabricating and spreading rumors and lies on Xinjiang-related issues. These views and facts are contained in these reports and facts. The article was confirmed.
We hope that on Xinjiang-related issues, there will be more facts, less rumors and lies; more objective and fairness, less rumors and slanders; more exchanges and cooperation, and less political manipulation.
The door of Xinjiang is always open.
We welcome people from all over the world to go to Xinjiang to learn the truth. We also believe that those Xinjiang-related lies and rumors concocted by anti-China forces will eventually have nowhere to hide in the face of facts and truth.
RIA Novosti: After the wreckage of a Chinese rocket fell into the Indian Ocean, US National Aeronautics and Space Administration Bill Nelson said that China has not achieved a responsible attitude in terms of space debris. What is China's comment?
Hua Chunying: In the past few days, the United States and other countries have played up the issue of the fall of the Chinese rocket wreckage.
However, we have seen relevant reports that the last stage of the rocket has re-entered the atmosphere and there is no report of harm to the ground.
As for the statement of the Director of NASA that you mentioned, after consulting with the China Manned Space Engineering Office, the carrier rocket used to launch the spacecraft passes through the natural attenuation of the orbital height and finally enters the atmosphere for destruction. This is the current international practice.
On April 29, Beijing time, after the Long March 5B Yao-2 launch vehicle successfully sent the space station's sky and core module into the scheduled orbit, the Chinese government has always paid close attention to the reentry of the final stage of its rocket.
The rocket's final stage has adopted passivation treatment technology, and it will not explode in orbit and generate space debris. Most of the components of the final stage are ablated and destroyed during re-entry into the atmosphere, which will cause harm to aviation activities and the probability of the ground. Extremely small.
During its re-entry process, China has always closely tracked the re-entry trajectory and issued an announcement on the re-entry situation in advance.
At 10:24 on May 9, after monitoring and analysis, the final stage of the rocket had re-entered the atmosphere, and the landing area was located in the waters surrounding 72.42° east longitude and 2.65° north latitude.
So far, there are no reports of harm to the ground.
China shares the results of the reentry forecast through an international cooperation mechanism.
China has also consistently carried out activities in the peaceful use of outer space in accordance with international law and international practices, and is willing to conduct more extensive international exchanges and cooperation with other countries on the issue of space debris to ensure the long-term sustainability of outer space activities.
But I also want to say that some US media and some people obviously have double standards on this issue.
You may still remember that when the wreckage of the American SpaceX rocket fell on a farm in the United States in March this year, the American media used romantic words such as "shooting stars across", "light up the night sky", and "dazzling light show" to describe and render. .
But once they arrive in China, they are totally different.
I have noticed that some Chinese netizens joked that perhaps American politicians have lost their memory, but the Internet has memories.
We are willing to strengthen cooperation with other countries, including the United States, but we oppose double standards on this issue.
Reuters reporter: Follow up. Has China informed the Indian government in advance that the rocket wreckage will fall nearby?
Hua Chunying: As I said just now, the Chinese aerospace authority has repeatedly notified the reentry of the final stage wreckage of the Long March 5B Yao-2 launch vehicle into the atmosphere, and has shared the reentry prediction results through an international cooperation mechanism.
So far, there has not been any report about the damage caused by the wreckage to the ground.
I have seen reports that since the launch of the first artificial satellite, there has been no case of rocket wreckage hitting a person in more than 60 years.
Some American experts said that the probability of hitting a person with the wreckage of the rocket is probably less than one in a billion.
Such matters with extremely small probability should be handled by professional departments and people.
There is no need for the media to overstate and create panic.
Hong Kong China Assessment Press: We noticed that after the new crown vaccine produced by Sinopharm was approved by the World Health Organization for emergency use, some foreign media said that the world "becomes increasingly dependent on Chinese vaccines." what opinions do the Chinese have on this issue?
Hua Chunying: What I can tell you is that China is currently the country that provides the most vaccines to developing countries.
China has always been committed to building a community of human health.
We were the first to put forward and have been practicing the promise of vaccines as a global public product.
China has successively provided vaccine assistance to more than 80 developing countries and exported vaccines to more than 50 countries, making continuous efforts to eliminate the "immunization gap."
Vaccines are an important weapon to defeat the epidemic.
We hope that other countries with the conditions and capabilities can act as soon as possible, scrambling to provide developing countries with more vaccines in a timely manner, promote the equitable distribution and use of vaccines around the world, and eliminate the accumulation of vaccines.
Bloomberg News: The Philippine military said it would ask President Duterte to allocate funds for the establishment of a logistics center on the South Island and reefs, and said that this move is intended to drive Chinese "maritime militia ships" and other ships from the Philippines' exclusive economic zone. What is China's comment?
Hua Chunying: Regarding the South China Sea issue, China's position is clear, consistent, and firm.
The South China Sea issue may be an issue between China and the Philippines, but it is not an unsolvable issue.
The emergence of the South China Sea issue is only a matter of recent decades, but the friendship between China and the Philippines has existed for thousands of years.
There is also a consensus between China and the Philippines that the South China Sea issue must be resolved peacefully and properly through dialogue and negotiation.
China and other ASEAN countries also have such a consensus that they must work to properly resolve problems through dialogue and negotiation and jointly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.
I hope that some people will not provoke right and wrong on this issue.
China News Agency reporter: Some US government officials have recently stated that the Chinese government uses official media and platforms to propagate and spread false information overseas, with the aim of interfering with or undermining democracy, while restricting the freedom of news and speech in the country. What is China's comment?
Hua Chunying: Some people in the United States continue to smear and attack China under the pretext of freedom of press and speech. This practice itself is spreading false information, which is a blasphemy of true freedom and democracy.
If they really maintain freedom, why do they only allow themselves to spread rumors to confuse the people, but not allow others to tell the truth?
If they really maintained freedom, why was Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, forced to hide in the Ecuadorian embassy in the UK for seven years before being imprisoned in the end?
If they really maintain freedom, why do they not respect or even tolerate other civilizations and systems?
If they really defend freedom, why suppress opinions and people who are different from their so-called "political correctness"?
If they really maintain freedom, why should they deprive them of the right and freedom to suppress the normal development of other countries?
Al Jazeera reporter: May 15 was a "disaster day" in Palestine. This time the Israeli attack took place in Jerusalem. Does China recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine? Do you think this attack is an aggression against the Palestinian territories?
Hua Chunying: I have just said that China is concerned about the recent escalation of tensions between Palestine and Israel and hopes to remain calm and restrained to avoid more injuries.
China hopes that on the basis of the "two-state solution" and in accordance with relevant UN resolutions, relevant parties in the international community will promote the resumption of peace talks between Palestine and Israel at an early date.
On the Palestine issue, China has always maintained an objective and fair position. China has always supported the just cause of the Palestinian people and the establishment of a fully sovereign and independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 border, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
President Xi Jinping sent congratulatory messages to the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People on several occasions.
China sympathizes with the people inside and outside Palestine, and will continue to take concrete actions to contribute China's strength and wisdom to the early realization of a comprehensive and just settlement of the Palestinian issue and lasting peace in the Middle East.
Reuters reporter: According to reports, China has asked UN member states not to participate in the Xinjiang-related video conference to be held by Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom on Wednesday. What is China's comment?
Hua Chunying: The U.S. Permanent Mission to the United Nations tried to organize a video conference on so-called Xinjiang-related issues with the United Kingdom and Germany. It also pretended to be a side event of the United Nations. This is reminiscent of the former U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations in January this year. Swift abused his power and sneaked into the United Nations hall to shoot a farce of video exchanges with Taiwanese students.
The United States has gathered a few countries to abuse the resources and platforms of the United Nations to smear and attack China and serve its own political self-interest. This is a complete blasphemy against the United Nations.
At the same time, it must be pointed out that several Western countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany cannot represent the United Nations at all, let alone the international community.
The U.S. has always been concerned about the human rights of Muslims, but we all know that the country that kills most Muslims in the world is precisely the United States.
Regardless of the systemic racial discrimination that has been unable to eradicate in the United States for a long time, the United States has launched wars and military operations in the name of "anti-terrorism" in about 80 countries around the world, which has caused more than 800,000 deaths directly in the violence of war, most of which are civilians. Tens of millions of people have been displaced.
There are still more than 20 million people living in extremely harsh conditions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and other countries.
Nearly 600,000 people in the United States have died from the new crown pneumonia epidemic. I just saw relevant research from the University of Washington and estimated that the actual number of deaths in the United States may be much higher than this number.
The United States ignores its actions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and other countries that have caused the deaths of nearly a million Muslims, and ignores that at least 600,000 people in its own country have died from the epidemic. However, it does not hesitate to cost and unscrupulously to repeatedly fabricate lies about the so-called "human rights issues" in Xinjiang. fake!
If Xinjiang really has the human rights issues they allege, wouldn’t the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and its more than 50 member states be more concerned than the United States?
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation has previously been invited to send a delegation to visit Xinjiang, fully affirming that the Chinese government attaches great importance to protecting the rights of Muslim believers, and positively evaluates China’s preventive counter-terrorism and de-radicalization efforts.
At the 46th session of the UN Human Rights Council, more than 80 countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other Muslim countries, spoke in different ways to support China's position on Xinjiang-related issues.
The United States, a country that has killed nearly a million Muslims and violated the human rights of tens of millions of Muslims, is now vowing to care about the human rights of Xinjiang Uyghur Muslims. It is clear that the weasel is giving New Year greetings to the rooster.
The Chinese media recently released "How Are Lies Related to Xinjiang Produced?" The report pointed out that the use of lies and rumors to smear China by anti-China forces in the United States and the West has formed a routine: first, the so-called "scholars" and "victims" were used to spread the news, then the media followed up on the hype, and then the government responded by intervening. According to this approach, "testimonies" and "reports" have emerged one after another, and batches of "directors" and "actors" have appeared on stage. In response, China has released 12 white papers on Xinjiang-related issues, "Lies and Facts About Xinjiang-related Issues", and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has held more than 40 special conferences to introduce the real situation in Xinjiang. Everyone can actually see clearly what the essence of Xinjiang-related issues is. We also saw the video showing the former US Secretary of State Powell’s Office Director Wilkerson and the former FBI translator Edmunds personally admit that the US actually doesn’t care about ethnic minorities in Xinjiang at all, it just uses them to create turmoil from the inside. Destroy China and realize their conspiracy to destroy Xinjiang and control China by Xinjiang. There are many reports, such as the "Gray Zone" publication of the American independent news website exposing the anti-China pseudo-"scholar" Zheng Guoen's misuse of data, distorting information, and citing false "testimonies" to fabricate the century lie of Xinjiang's "genocide"; Hong Kong "South China Morning Post", Australia The Civic Party’s publication "Australian Alert Service", Brazil’s "Minas State" and many other media published report articles, introducing Xinjiang’s anti-terrorism achievements, and disclosing the double standards of the United States and other Western countries on counter-terrorism issues and "using Xinjiang to control China." "The geopolitical conspiracy. Singapore’s "Lianhe Zaobao", "World News Syndicate" website, the Swedish Peace and Future Research Foundation, and the US independent website Counterpunch published articles or reports separately, clearly stating that the so-called "forced labor" and "genocide" in Xinjiang are not in the United States. Any evidence. The former mayor of Floen, Norway, published a special report on "Determining the Utterance of Xinjiang's Genocide", which criticized the objectivity, authenticity, and rigor of the US think tank reports one by one. In "The End of Uyghur Fake News", French writer Vivas used his own experience in two visits to Xinjiang to prove that all kinds of rumors and lies about Xinjiang are pure nonsense.
Some people in the United States have repeatedly hyped up the so-called "human rights issue" in Xinjiang. Only 20 false "witnesses" and false "scholars" can be counted with their fingers. But you can count them. Xinjiang showed up at the Chinese press conference in Xinjiang. The masses and the international community, including some of the people I have just listed publicly exposing the true attempts of the United States and other Western countries to concoct Xinjiang-related lies, far exceed the United States in terms of number, breadth and representation. Several fake "witnesses" and fake "scholars".
Isn't the United States a democracy?
Even from the perspective of democracy, some people in the United States only listen to the "testimony" of the 20 or so false "witnesses" and "actors", but do not listen to these false "witnesses" hundreds of times or even tens of thousands of times. The voices of pseudo-"scholars" do not listen to the voices of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, including the more than 25 million people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. Is this the self-proclaimed democratic value of the United States?
After all, they just don't dare to face the facts and fear the truth.
But no matter how deeply they bury their heads or cover their ears tightly, the facts and truths of Xinjiang are there.
Some politicians in the United States and a few Western countries have no bottom line to fabricate lies and rumors out of the sinister intention of containing and suppressing China.
This drama is being seen and seen through by more and more people. It has no value and will only accelerate the bankruptcy of the United States itself.
So I advise them to stop as soon as possible.
"Beijing Youth Daily" reporter: On the 7th, U.S. Secretary of State Blincoln issued a statement calling on the Director-General of the World Health Organization to invite Taiwan to participate in the World Health Assembly as an observer, claiming that excluding 24 million people from the World Health Assembly would only endanger global health goals. , Is not conducive to responding to future public health crises. Prior to this, the G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting also issued a joint communiqué expressing its support for Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the relevant forums of the World Health Organization and the World Health Assembly. What is China's comment?
Hua Chunying: China has previously stated its solemn position on the Taiwan-related content of the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting Joint Communiqué.
The relevant statement of US Secretary of State Blincol seriously violates the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, and seriously interferes in China's internal affairs. China expresses its strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this.
There is only one China in the world.
Taiwan’s participation in international organizations, including WHO’s activities, must be handled in accordance with the one-China principle. This is also the fundamental principle confirmed by UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 and World Health Assembly Resolution 25.1, and has received universal support from the international community.
It is the DPP authorities who stubbornly adhere to the "Taiwan independence" separatist stance that has caused the political basis for Taiwan to participate in the World Health Assembly to no longer exist. The responsibility rests solely with the DPP authorities, and they know this well.
For political purposes, the United States hype that not allowing Taiwan to participate in the World Health Assembly will "endanger global health goals" and is not conducive to responding to future public health crises. This is a political lie they fabricated.
In fact, no one cares more about the health and well-being of Taiwan compatriots than we do.
Since the outbreak, the Chinese central government has invited health experts from Taiwan to visit Wuhan, Hubei Province for the first time outside the mainland. They have shared 52 epidemic prevention materials on 13 occasions, and have reported the latest information on epidemic prevention and control to Taiwan on many occasions, including those diagnosed in the mainland. Taiwan residents information, and a special trip to inform the mainland to share virus gene sequences with the WHO and information on the ways to obtain related gene sequences.
As of May 5, the Chinese central government has notified the Taiwan region of 258 new crown pneumonia epidemics.
In March this year, the two sides of the strait also held a cross-strait epidemic prevention policy and experience exchange symposium through video connection to share technical experience.
On the premise of conforming to the one-China principle, the Chinese central government has also made proper arrangements for Taiwan's participation in global health affairs.
According to relevant departments, according to incomplete statistics, since 2020, medical technology experts from Taiwan, China have participated in 16 WHO technical activities, including the 4th Global Vaccine and Immunization Research Forum, WHO Immunization Strategy Advisory Expert Group Meeting, etc. Important meeting.
Taiwan also has a contact point for the International Health Regulations, with an account to log in to the WHO event information website, and can obtain information on public health emergencies issued by WHO in a timely manner through information websites, daily epidemic reports and other channels. Be able to inform the WHO in time.
With the consent of the central government, the WHO Secretariat also notified health experts in Taiwan of the epidemic on three occasions.
Taiwan has also joined the "New Coronary Pneumonia Vaccine Implementation Plan."
Experts from the Taiwan region have participated in the WHO immunization strategy advisory expert group meeting many times to obtain timely and adequate information about the new crown vaccine.
I would like to point out that the Taiwan authorities have repeatedly called themselves "model students in epidemic prevention", and the US has publicly praised Taiwan's so-called "anti-epidemic results" on multiple occasions. On the other hand, they are alarmist saying that they would "endanger global health goals." Isn't that true? Contradictory?
This fully demonstrates that the U.S.'s statement that "excluding the 24 million Taiwanese from the World Health Assembly is not conducive to coping with the future public health crisis" is an out-and-out political manipulation, and its purpose is merely to create an excuse for Taiwan's participation in the World Health Assembly.
I want to emphasize once again that the Taiwan issue concerns China’s core interests, and China has no room for compromise or concession on this issue.
The current epidemic is still spreading, and focusing on global anti-epidemic cooperation is the primary task of this World Health Assembly.
We urge the US to stop speculating on Taiwan-related issues. This will not only help the current international anti-epidemic cooperation, but will also be firmly opposed by the overwhelming majority of members of the international community.
"Global Times" reporter: According to reports, while investigating the origin of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the US State Department obtained an internal document on the SARS virus written in 2015 by scientists from the PLA Air Force Military Medical University and senior Chinese public health officials. The document believes that the SARS virus can be "manipulated into a new type of human disease virus, made into a weapon, and released in an unprecedented way." How does China respond to this?
Hua Chunying: I have seen relevant reports.
Some people in the U.S. frequently hyped and cited so-called "internal documents" and "reports" to slander and smear China, but in the end they were proved by facts and truths that they were either wicked people first to file a complaint, to make malicious interpretations out of context and presumption of guilt, or to spread A complete lie.
In fact, I have seen media reports today that after verification, what the US mentioned was not a "secret document" within the PLA, but a publicly issued academic book.
The book quoted former US Air Force colonel Michael Anskoff's research and pointed out that the "next generation of biological weapons" is part of the US Air Force project, which aims to enable the United States to better respond to the threat of weapons of mass destruction.
Anskov’s argument shows that it is precisely the United States that is conducting research on the application of genetic engineering technology in biological warfare and biological terrorism.
China has always strictly fulfilled its obligations under the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological Weapons and does not develop, develop or produce biological weapons.
At the same time, China has established a complete set of laws, regulations, technical specifications and management systems for the safety of biological laboratories.
I would also like to point out that many countries in the world have serious concerns about the biological laboratories established by the United States at home and globally.
According to reports, the United States has set up more than 200 overseas biological laboratories in 25 countries and regions, including Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the former Soviet Union. Some of these laboratories have experienced outbreaks of large-scale infectious diseases.
According to the "USA Today" report, since 2003, hundreds of accidental human contact with deadly microorganisms have occurred in biological laboratories in the United States and abroad, resulting in epidemics.
In June 2019, the US media began to report on the Fort Detrick Biological Base issue, but nearly two years have passed, and US officials have always kept secrets about this issue.
We have noticed that some Russian officials have stated that Russia believes that US-controlled laboratories are developing biological weapons near the border between Russia and China.
What people particularly want to understand is why does the US build so many biological laboratories all over the world?
What is the purpose?
How much sensitive biological resources and information has the United States grabbed from relevant countries?
What activities is the US doing in those laboratories?
What activities did the United States carry out at the Fort Detrick base?
What is the relationship between these biological laboratories and the US research on "next-generation biological weapons"?
Regarding these issues, it is hoped that the United States can give the international community an honest, transparent, and responsible explanation.
