China News Service, Beijing, June 9th (Li Jingze) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said in a regular press conference on the 9th that virus traceability was originally a scientific issue, and traceability was politicized and used traceability. Pushing blame will only interfere with and undermine traceability research and undermine international cooperation in the fight against the epidemic.
A reporter asked questions. The United States and the European Union will support the renewed promotion of the traceability investigation of the new crown virus.
The G7 is also preparing to discuss the US proposal for traceability investigations.
Does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have any comment on this?
Wang Wenbin said that since the outbreak, we have continuously seen some US politicians and media labelling and stigmatizing the virus, spreading unfounded "laboratory leak theory", and conducting traceability research reports of the joint expert group between China and the World Health Organization. Unprovoked attacks are used to discredit and use intelligence agencies to conduct so-called "investigations."
"These politicized practices that increasingly deviate from the purpose of traceability research have not only severely impacted the United States' own anti-epidemic actions and caused the American people to pay a heavy price, but also have an increasingly negative impact on international anti-epidemic cooperation." He pointed out.
Wang Wenbin emphasized that the United States should immediately stop political manipulation, assume due responsibilities, return the traceability to the scientific level, and make a responsible account of the truth about Fort Detrick and the more than 200 biological laboratories set up by the United States around the world as soon as possible.
We also hope that relevant parties will resist any actions that politicize the traceability and do some tangible things for international anti-epidemic cooperation.
Another reporter asked questions. After the "2+2" consultations, the Japanese and Australian Foreign Ministers issued a joint press release opposing China's maritime propositions and activities.
They also expressed concern about the "violation" of the human rights of Xinjiang Uyghurs and the "weakening" of Hong Kong's democratic institutions.
What is China's comment?
"Our position on relevant issues is consistent and clear. China has sovereignty over the South China Sea Zhudao and its adjacent waters, as well as the Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islands. Issues involving Xinjiang and Hong Kong are China's internal affairs, and no foreign interference is allowed." Wang Wenbin The response said.
He pointed out that Japan and Australia have played up the so-called "China threat", maliciously smeared China, and unreasonably interfered in China's internal affairs. China firmly opposes this.
"Our determination and will to defend national sovereignty, security, and development interests is unwavering. We urge Japan and Australia to abide by international laws and basic norms of international relations such as respecting the sovereignty of other countries and non-interference in internal affairs, stop interfering in China's internal affairs, and stop undermining regional peace. Stabilize the overall situation." (End)
