Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian's regular press conference on May 26, 2021

Surging News Reporter: Recently, US officials have called for a new crown virus originated conduct a comprehensive, expert-led

"

investigation

" ,

said that in China there is no traceability

"

investigation

"

remains fully transparent process.

What is China's comment?

  Zhao Lijian: Traceability is a scientific issue. The purpose is to increase human understanding of viruses and better prevent future infectious diseases.

  Since the outbreak of the epidemic, China has taken the lead in supporting WHO's research on global traceability.

From January 14 to February 10 this year, the WHO international expert group and Chinese experts conducted an in-depth study in Wuhan for nearly a month.

Experts from both sides jointly conducted field inspections, analyzed large amounts of data, jointly issued authoritative joint research reports, and reached many important conclusions.

This joint research has played a positive role in promoting global traceability.

  Some people in the US preach the truth, but they are all political manipulation in their hearts.

As long as the epidemic is mentioned, China will be smeared and attacked, ignoring the many doubts about the origin of the epidemic and the painful facts of failure in the fight against the epidemic.

The conspiracy theories and false information such as "laboratory leaks" that they have spread all of their minds are a great disrespect for the scientific spirit and research results of the members of the WHO expert group, and it is a desecration and destruction of the global united anti-epidemic efforts.

  I also want to emphasize again that many clues, reports and studies have shown that the epidemic has appeared in many places around the world as early as the second half of 2019.

China has always treated traceability work in a responsible manner and has made positive contributions that are obvious to all.

If the US really wants to achieve a completely transparent investigation, it should, like China, invite WHO experts to investigate in the United States, open the US military base in Fort Detrick and the US biological laboratories around the world as soon as possible, and disclose as early as July 2019. Detailed data and information on related cases such as unexplained respiratory diseases and large-scale outbreaks of "e-cigarette diseases" in Wisconsin began to appear in the northern state.

We urge the United States and other relevant countries to also cooperate with the WHO in a scientific, open, and transparent manner.

Shenzhen Satellite TV reporter: We have noticed that the Japanese side has repeatedly emphasized that the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water is

treated water

that has been

filtered and diluted

, and that it fully meets the discharge standards.

Some commentators stated that the move was intended to demonstrate the rationality of the decision to discharge nuclear contaminated water into the sea.

What is China's comment?

  Zhao Lijian: No matter how the Japanese side "proves" and whitewashes it, it is difficult to conceal its wrong decision for selfish interests and in vain for the common interests of all mankind.

  The nuclear contaminated water produced by the Fukushima nuclear accident and the nuclear fuel that had been in contact with the melted core of the nuclear reactor contained a variety of radionuclides with extremely complex compositions.

TEPCO once claimed that nuclear contaminated water can remove most of the nuclides other than tritium after purification treatment, trying to focus public attention on tritium to avoid other serious problems, but in 2018 it had to admit that after treatment Nuclear contaminated water in China has also experienced excessive nuclides other than tritium.

In February 2020, a report issued by the Japanese side showed that 73% of the treated nuclear contaminated water still exceeded the standard, and dilution of tritium-containing wastewater could not change the total amount of tritium.

Nuclear contaminated water is nuclear contaminated water no matter what vest it is changed into. Once discharged into the sea, it will cause immeasurable harm to the global marine environment.

  We have also noticed that the Japanese Atomic Energy Citizens’ Committee recently broke the news that Japanese inspectors were tampering with inspection equipment in an attempt to deceive the public and convince everyone that the treated polluted water is safe.

The chairman of the committee also agreed that if the treated nuclear contaminated water meets the so-called "Japanese safety standards," why not incorporate it into the Japanese water network and digest it in Japan?

The Japanese side insisted on choosing the method of delisting the sea. The Japanese government and TEPCO have saved money, but the price paid by the world ecology and the people of the world, including the Japanese people, is too heavy.

  The Japanese side only cares about the present, regardless of the long-term, and jingles the "wishful abacus" of economic interests. This is a crime against the earth and a crime against mankind.

The Japanese side should recognize the situation as soon as possible, return to rationality and science, adopt a highly responsible attitude to the international public interest, handle relevant issues in an open and transparent manner, and fully negotiate with stakeholders and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Before an agreement is reached, the discharge of the sea shall not be initiated without authorization.

CCTV reporter: Yesterday, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the celebration of

"

Africa Day

"

and gave a speech, expounding China-Africa friendship and China-Africa cooperation from multiple angles.

What is the special background and significance of the

joint celebration of

"

Africa Day

"

held by China and Africa

?

  Zhao Lijian: "Africa Day" is an important anniversary for the African people to strive for independence and strengthen unity.

The African diplomatic mission to China organizes activities to celebrate "Africa Day" in Beijing every year, and China actively participates.

Strengthening unity and cooperation with African countries has always been the priority of China's diplomacy.

From this perspective, "Africa Day" is a common holiday between China and Africa, and it is worthy of our commemoration and celebration.

  This year, China and Africa have overcome the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and jointly hosted the "Africa Day" reception.

State Councilor and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi attended and delivered a speech, and put forward four suggestions on the development of China-Africa relations: First, persist in advancing with the times and run the new China-Africa Cooperation Forum meeting; second, persist in helping each other in the same boat, and work together to overcome the epidemic as soon as possible; It is to adhere to common development and promote pragmatic cooperation for stability and long-term; fourth, to adhere to fairness and justice, and strengthen coordination and cooperation in international affairs.

The African diplomatic envoys to China warmly congratulated the Communist Party of China on its centenary of its founding, spoke highly of the achievements of China-Africa cooperation, and looked forward to a better tomorrow for China-Africa relations.

It can be said that this reception is another important manifestation of China-Africa traditional friendship, demonstrating the solidarity and cooperation of the two sides under the epidemic situation.

  China attaches great importance to the development of Africa and China-Africa relations.

In today's world, if we don't pay attention to Africa and don't help Africa's development, the international community cannot stand morally; without the support and participation of African countries, global affairs cannot be handled well.

China and Africa have jointly launched the "Support for Africa’s Development Partnership Initiative." We welcome more countries and international organizations to participate in the initiative to jointly support Africa’s post-epidemic reconstruction, development and revitalization, and promote greater progress in the process of Africa’s joint self-reliance and integration.

China is willing to continue to deepen China-Africa pragmatic cooperation through the joint construction of the “Belt and Road”, China-Africa Cooperation Forum and other platforms, make greater contributions to the development of Africa, work together to safeguard international fairness and justice, and safeguard the common interests of developing countries.

Xinhua News Agency reporter: On the

25th

, at the request of Pakistan and Palestine, the coordinators of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the United Nations Human Rights Council

will hold a special meeting on the Palestine-Israel conflict on the

27th

.

Relevant Muslim countries drafted a draft resolution calling for the establishment of an independent international committee to investigate human rights violations in the current round of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

What is China's comment?

  Zhao Lijian: China supports the Human Rights Council in convening this special meeting.

We express our serious concern about the large number of casualties, including women and children, caused by the recent conflict between Israel and Palestine. We condemn all acts of violence against civilians and attacks on civilian facilities, especially hospitals and schools.

We are also concerned about the continued deterioration of the human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory in recent years.

China welcomes the realization of a ceasefire between the two sides in the Palestine-Israeli conflict, and hopes that the parties concerned will cease fire and stop violence.

China firmly supports Pakistan's just demands and all efforts that contribute to the implementation of the "two-state plan."

Palestinian News Agency reporters: Pakistani Prime Minister Imran

-

Khan in his meeting with Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan, expressed high appreciation for the outstanding leadership of President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang.

He reiterated that the Pakistani government attaches great importance to the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and will complete the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project as soon as possible.

What is China's comment?

  Zhao Lijian: China has noticed the positive remarks made by Prime Minister Imran Khan and appreciates this.

  As an important pilot project of the “Belt and Road”, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor has made significant progress in the fields of transportation infrastructure, energy, ports and industrial parks since its inception.

This not only strongly promoted Pakistan's faster economic and social development, but also played a positive role in promoting regional connectivity.

Statistics show that after the launch of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor cooperation, a total of 75,000 jobs have been created for Pakistan.

China is willing to work with Pakistan to promote the high-quality construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and play a greater role in improving people's living standards, promoting regional connectivity and economic integration.

Freud was kneeling press lethal one-year anniversary, the National erupted again demonstrated against the United States in the problem of racial discrimination.

However, the current hatred of ethnic minorities such as Asians and Africans in the United States still exists, and this situation does not seem to have changed due to the Freud incident.

What is China's comment?

  Zhao Lijian: As you said, many netizens sent out "soul torture" to the United States: After a year, has the United States changed?

Can the "Floyds" breathe freely?

  Mr. Freud's family said sadly, "This is a long year, this is a painful year."

One year later, desperate shouts of "I can't breathe" are still echoing, and violent incidents such as shootings against ethnic minorities continue to appear in the newspapers.

According to reports, in the 21 days of the Freud trial alone, 64 people in the United States were shot dead by the police, and most of them were people of color.

Polls from the Aksios website show that the relationship between African Americans and the police has not improved in the past year, but has gradually evolved into "a deep and escalating crisis." 72% of African-American respondents It is believed that the police shooting of young people from ethnic minorities such as African descent has worsened in the past year.

  The Freud incident reflects only the "tip of the iceberg" of racism in the United States.

According to the latest data from the Associated Press and the Public Affairs Research Center of the National Poll Center, 60% of Americans believe that racism is a "very or extremely serious" problem.

According to data from the non-profit organization "Stop Hatred of Asian-Pacific Americans", since the outbreak, more than 6,600 anti-Asian hatred incidents have been recorded across the United States.

The United States’ human rights abuses in racial discrimination and hate crimes have long been recognized by the world.

American leaders also admitted this year that hatred and racial discrimination are "ugly poisons" that plague American society.

  The United States should manage its own affairs, solve its own problems, and restore the people’s safety, so that the people have the right to be free from discrimination, fear, and free breathing, instead of always thinking about spreading lies and false information against other countries. , Fanning the flames and interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.

Phoenix TV

reporter: Taiwan’s

"Foreign Minister"

Wu Zhaoxie

said in an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation a few days ago that the mainland is conducting military activities in the East China Sea, Taiwan Strait, and South China Sea in an attempt to expand its influence. It is hoped that countries with similar ideas will pay attention to and support Taiwan.

He also stated that Hong Kong no longer enjoys the

economic and political freedoms it

had in the past

and

will not allow Taiwan to become the

"second Hong Kong."

How does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs respond to this?

  Zhao Lijian: First of all, I want to correct one of your incorrect statements. Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory and there is no so-called "foreign minister."

The Taiwan authorities have repeatedly used Hong Kong affairs to maliciously slander and slander the mainland under the guise of so-called democracy and freedom. In essence, they are chasing Hong Kong to seek "independence."

This kind of clumsy political manipulation is nothing more than seeking attention and ignoring hot spots. It will not succeed, but will only insult itself.

China news agency

reporter: This year is the United Nations General Assembly

"

IPEC years

"

.

Over the years, the International Labor Organization has continued to express its concern over the employment of child labor in the United States that has caused serious work-related accidents.

The media has also repeatedly disclosed the employment of child labor in the US tobacco industry.

what opinions do the Chinese have on this issue?

  Zhao Lijian: Children are the future of the world, and protecting and promoting children's rights is an important area for countries to promote and protect human rights.

The United States has advertised itself as the so-called "beacon of human rights", but as the most developed country in the world, the United States is the only country in the world that has not ratified the "United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child". Its serious child labor problem is even more of this so-called "beacon." Dark under the lights.

  According to official U.S. statistics, in 2019, U.S. law enforcement officers found 858 child labor cases that violated the Fair Labor Standards Act, and 544 minors working in hazardous occupational places.

However, the statistics of some industry associations in the United States are far more shocking than the official data of the United States.

According to reports from relevant organizations, there are approximately 500,000 child laborers in the United States engaged in agricultural work.

Many children start working at the age of 8, and work for up to 72 hours a week, and it is not uncommon for them to work more than 10 hours a day.

The risk of child labor causing cancer due to pesticides is three times that of adults.

Half of the deaths of child labor in the United States come from the agricultural sector.

Between 2003 and 2016, 237 child laborers died in agricultural accidents in the United States, four times more than in other industries.

  Of particular concern is that child labor in the US tobacco industry is extremely common.

According to reports by some human rights organizations, tobacco farms in many states in the United States employ a large number of children to harvest and dry tobacco leaves, and even operate heavy machinery.

At the same time, tobacco farms are extremely harmful to children's physical and mental health.

There are reports that children working in tobacco farms generally feel nausea and headaches, have nicotine poisoning, and have even been found to have lung infections.

  The ILO Committee of Experts on the Implementation and Recommendations of Conventions has continuously commented on the issue of child labor in the United States for many years. It has repeatedly expressed concern about the large number of serious child labor accidents in U.S. farms and urged the U.S. government to formulate measures to strengthen the supervision of the use of child labor in agriculture and provide child labor in agriculture. Detailed statistics, especially the number of work-related injury cases and the investigation and handling of illegal use of child labor.

  The US government has turned a deaf ear to the concerns and recommendations of the International Labor Organization, and the problem of child labor has not improved.

On the occasion of the "International Year for the Elimination of Child Labor", we hope that the international community will pay more attention to the issue of child labor in the United States, and urge the United States government to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child as soon as possible, take effective measures to eliminate the country’s serious child labor problems, and earnestly implement the International Labor Organization’s "Convention on the Rights of the Child". Convention on the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labor.

Yesterday, American actor John

Cena apologized for calling Taiwan a "country". The Republican Party and conservative media criticized this move as bowing to China.

US Republican Senator Tom Cotton called the apology very sad.

What is your response to Cotton's remarks above?

  Zhao Lijian: The criticisms of these people you mentioned are unreasonable.

Everyone knows who Cotton is, and what he says is like waste paper.

"Beijing Daily"

reporter: The US State Department released the

"2020

International Religious Freedom Report

"

, announcing sanctions on a Chinese official.

What's China's response to this?

  Zhao Lijian: The so-called US report ignores facts, is full of ideological prejudice, slander China's religious policies, and seriously interfere in China's internal affairs.

China firmly opposes this.

  In response to the U.S.'s blatantly opening up of cults and imposing unilateral sanctions on Chinese personnel based on lies and false information, China has decided to impose sanctions on Johnny Moore, a member of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, and prohibit Moroccan and his family from entering mainland China and Hong Kong. ,Macao Special Administrative Region.

  China urges the US to correct its mistakes, lift the so-called sanctions, and stop interfering in China's internal affairs through so-called religious issues.

"People's Daily"

reporter: Ma Kaishuo, a scholar of the School of Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore, said in an interview with the "Lianhe Zaobao" that the Chinese people are suffering from the oppression of the Chinese Communist Party is a major misunderstanding of China by the United States.

According to authoritative research from the Harvard Kennedy School,

"

the support rate of the Chinese Communist Party is staggeringly high

.

"

what opinions do the Chinese have on this issue?

  Zhao Lijian: Indeed, as State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi pointed out in his speech at the Munich Security Conference "China Special" event last night, the key to understanding China's development lies in an objective grasp of China's history and a correct view of the Communist Party of China.

As an ancient nation with a civilization of five thousand years, China has had brilliance and experienced hardships.

In modern times, in order to save the nation and survive, the Chinese people have tried almost all political models without success.

Finally, the Communist Party of China combined Marxism with China's reality, united and led the entire Chinese people, achieved national independence and liberation, and finally found a correct path to prosperity and strength. This is socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Especially in recent years, under the leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, China has made a series of historic achievements in its development, and socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era.

  With its own practical actions, the Communist Party of China is fulfilling its original intention and mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. It always represents the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people, serves the people wholeheartedly, and regards the interests of the people as the starting point and the starting point of all work. Foothold.

Because of this, the Chinese Communist Party is deeply loved and supported by the people.

Polls by international authoritative organizations show that Chinese people’s satisfaction with the Chinese government has exceeded 90% year after year.

We believe that over time, more and more people will form an objective and correct understanding of the Chinese Communist Party.

We do not recognize the so-called "president" you mentioned, she is just a regional leader in China.

I don't know the specific situation you mentioned.

What I can tell you is that the channels for Taiwan to obtain vaccines from the mainland are unblocked.

"

.

What is China's comment?

  Zhao Lijian: Yesterday, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region government held a press conference on Xinjiang-related issues in Beijing, specifically exposing and criticizing the so-called "Uyghur Special Court" you mentioned.

What I want to emphasize is that the so-called "Uyghur Special Court" neither represents the Uyghur people, nor is it a "court" at all, but a lie-making machine.

This lie-making machine was put together by the notorious anti-China separatist organization "World Utilities Committee" in collusion with anti-China forces. It specializes in producing and promoting lies, attacks and smears Xinjiang, and interferes in China's internal affairs. Its ultimate goal is to "control China with Xinjiang."

  This so-called "Uyghur Special Court" is not a "judiciary" or "judicial procedure" as everyone understands. It is just created by people with ulterior motives. It has no seriousness or authority. It is essentially a bad public opinion dressed in the cloak of law. The trick, under the guise of the so-called "court", to cover up people's eyes and sensation, to attack and discredit Xinjiang and interfere in China's internal affairs is both absurd and illegal.

  The establishment of the so-called "court" has no legal basis at all.

According to the "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide," genocide cases are either under the jurisdiction of the competent court of the country where the act occurred, or by the International Criminal Court to which the State party accepts its jurisdiction.

The courts of individual countries have also heard cases of genocide that occurred within their own borders.

In addition, no country, organization or individual has the right and power to arbitrarily convict other countries as guilty of genocide.

This so-called "court" is an illegal organization conspired by the "World Utilities Committee" and Western anti-China forces to set up. It has no right to conduct any "hearings", let alone attempting to accuse and affirm an extremely serious international crime.

Such an act is not only a slander and provocation against China’s Xinjiang, it is also a serious tarnishment to international law, and it is also a blatant desecration of all the victims of the crime of genocide in history.

  This so-called "court" falsified evidence with a "presumption of guilt" and looked for actors.

The so-called "witnesses" gathered are nothing more than a few anti-China elements full of lies.

We have exposed and criticized these so-called "witnesses" many times.

Perhaps it was to pay for the hiring of "actors." This so-called "court" once wanted to raise 50,000 pounds, but only raised more than 7,000 pounds in three months.

This shows how unpopular they are.

  This special lie maker is self-reliant and put on a "law" disguise, and it can act recklessly, sensationally, and openly claim that they "want to attract attention and exert pressure."

Any so-called "judgments" they produce will only add new evidence for them to spread rumors.

A lie will not become the truth if it is repeated a thousand times.

No matter how hard they perform, they can't change the good situation of Xinjiang's stable development and prosperity, nor can it change the beautiful scene of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang who live, work, and live happily.

reporter:

The President and Prime Minister of Mali have been detained by the military since Monday evening. The United States and the European Union have condemned this.

What is China's comment?

  Zhao Lijian: China is concerned about the development of the situation in Mali and has taken note of relevant reports.

China has always supported the cause of peace and development in Mali and called on all parties concerned in Mali to proceed from the fundamental interests of the country and the people, resolve differences through dialogue and consultation, and maintain national stability and unity.

China is willing to work with the international community to play a constructive role in this regard.

reporter

: The U.S. House of Representatives submitted the

"Ensure U.S. Global Leadership and Participation Act"

on Tuesday

, calling on the U.S. to coordinate with its allies to respond to China's competition.

What is China's comment?

  Zhao Lijian: The relevant US bill ignores facts, slanders and smears China's development path and domestic and foreign policies, interferes in China's internal affairs and harms China's interests on issues involving China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

China firmly opposes this and will firmly defend its own interests.

  The Taiwan issue is the political basis of Sino-US relations and an insurmountable red line. No external forces can intervene.

Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong.

After the reunification, Hong Kong compatriots really began to be the masters of the country and fully exercised their democratic rights.

The so-called "genocide" of the Xinjiang Uyghurs is a big lie concocted by a few anti-China forces in the West, which has been falsified by countless facts.

The US has abused the concept of national security to suppress Chinese companies and contain China's development, and the relevant practices harm others and disadvantage itself.

China pursues an independent foreign policy of peace and a mutually beneficial and win-win opening strategy to promote the construction of a new type of international relations and a community with a shared future for mankind.

Internationally, the United States has organized gangs, forced other countries to choose sides, and engaged in a "small circle" against China, and its actions were unpopular.

We have also noticed that the relevant bill includes support for China and the United States to strengthen cooperation in addressing global challenges such as climate change.

At the same time, it must be pointed out that cooperation must and can only be carried out on the basis of mutual respect.

  China urges relevant U.S. congressmen to abandon the Cold War mentality and ideological prejudice, stop using false information to engage in political manipulation on China-related issues, stop words and deeds that harm China’s interests under the guise of "democracy and human rights", and stop deliberating and advancing relevant issues. In the negative China-related bill, delete the negative China-related clauses and do more to promote the development of Sino-US relations and mutual trust and cooperation between the two countries, and create favorable conditions for cooperation between the two countries in areas such as climate change.

"China Daily"

reporter: On the

25th

, the former Hokkaido University of Education professor Yuan Keqin was detained by the Chinese government on suspicion of espionage. Yuan Keqin's eldest son Yuan Chengji and his supporters held a press conference.

Yuan Chengji and others stated that they hope Yuan Keqin can clear up his grievances and be released as soon as possible, and hope that Japan and China can resume safe and secure exchanges.

What is China's comment?

  Zhao Lijian: Yuan Keqin is a Chinese citizen, but he has been engaged in espionage intelligence activities against China for Japan in accordance with the requirements of spies from the Japanese intelligence agency.

Yuan Keqin has been censored by China’s national security department for being suspected of espionage crimes. Prior to this, he himself confessed to the crime.

The facts of the case are clear and the evidence is conclusive. The prosecutors have reviewed and prosecuted the case and transferred it to the court for trial.

  I would like to ask, those people who complained about Yuan Keqin's grievances, are you still unclear about the facts, or are you pretending to be confused?

China is a country under the rule of law, and people who endanger national security will of course be punished by law. It will be futile to try to smear China's image and interfere in China's justice.

  In connection with several other cases involving Japanese citizens who violated Chinese laws due to suspected espionage in recent years, it is clear who is overshadowing the normal personnel exchanges between China and Japan.

I want to emphasize that China supports normal personnel exchanges between China and Japan, and this position remains unchanged.

At the same time, China will resolutely crack down on illegal and criminal activities that endanger China's national security in accordance with the law.
