Chinanews.com, Beijing, June 9 (Li Jingze) In response to the recent passage of the so-called "American Innovation and Competition Act of 2021" by the US Senate, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin pointed out at a regular press conference on the 9th that the Chinese content of the bill is distorted. In fact, it advocates the development of strategic competition with China.
He said that the biggest threat to the United States is the United States itself. It is more important than anything to run its own affairs well.
A reporter asked a question. The U.S. Senate passed a bill to enhance U.S. competitiveness in the field of Sino-U.S. technological competition.
The bill will provide US$190 billion in funding for the technology sector in the United States and US$15 billion to enhance the semiconductor and communications fields in the United States. At the same time, it also prohibits the use of TikTok on US government equipment and cannot buy Chinese-made products. Drone.
How does China comment on this?
Wang Wenbin pointed out that the U.S. Senate has just passed the so-called "'American Innovation and Competition Act of 2021". Its China-related content distorts facts, discredited China's development path and domestic and foreign policies, exaggerated the "China threat theory", and advocated strategic competition with China.
Serious interference in China's internal affairs on Taiwan, Hong Kong-related, Xinjiang-related, and Tibet-related issues is full of Cold War zero-sum mentality, which runs counter to the common desire of China and the United States to strengthen exchanges and cooperation.
China firmly opposes this.
"How the United States develops and how to enhance its'competitiveness' is the United States' own business, but we firmly oppose the United States using China as an'imaginary enemy'." Wang Wenbin pointed out that the biggest threat to the United States is the United States itself. Doing your own affairs well is more important than anything else.
Wang Wenbin said that China has always adhered to the path of peaceful development. Our goal of development is to continuously improve ourselves so that the Chinese people can lead a happier and better life.
No one can deprive the Chinese people of their legitimate right to development.
He pointed out that China is committed to developing a relationship with the US that is non-conflict, non-confrontational, mutual respect, and win-win cooperation.
At the same time, we will continue to resolutely defend national sovereignty, security and development interests.
"We urge the United States to correct its mentality, take a rational view of China's development and Sino-US relations, stop advancing relevant bills, and stop interfering in China's internal affairs, so as not to harm the overall situation of China-US relations and cooperation in important areas between the two sides."
