China News Agency, Washington, December 24. In response to China’s “wolf war diplomacy” statement, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Qin Gang responded in an interview with the US media recently, “We are not proactively attacking, but counterattacking. More precisely. , Chinese diplomats are not war wolves, but dance with wolves."

　　On December 20th, Qin Gang accepted a joint interview with the editor-in-chief and senior reporters of many mainstream media in the United States.

The interview was organized by the Bloomberg Innovation Economic Forum and was conducted in English in the form of a "fireside conversation".

　　Qin Gang pointed out that the Chinese people love peace and respect harmony.

China never provokes or causes trouble.

China adheres to the path of peaceful development.

The education that every Chinese diplomat receives from the beginning of his post is that China pursues peaceful diplomacy, respects and treats other countries as equals, and is committed to enhancing friendship, mutual understanding, and mutually beneficial cooperation.

"These principles are like diplomatic training manuals, which have been kept in the pockets of Chinese diplomats."

　　He also emphasized that at present, China is facing a more complex and severe international environment, and some countries are always arrogant and slanderous against China.

Faced with unfriendly words and deeds that interfere in China’s internal affairs and harm China’s interests, Chinese diplomats must stand up and say no, clarify the facts, and reason. Ordinary Chinese citizens should do the same, let alone Chinese diplomats.

"We are not taking the initiative, but making a counterattack. To be more precise, Chinese diplomats are not war wolves, but dance with wolves."

　　"I am going to the United States at a time when Sino-US relations are extremely challenging." Qin Gang said that he must be a bridge and link between China and the United States, extensively contact all walks of life in the United States, clarify China's strategic intentions, and avoid misunderstandings and misjudgments.

He is committed to improving Sino-US relations to make this vital relationship stable, controllable, and constructive.

　　Speaking of how he felt in the past five months, Qin Gang said that the United States is a very complicated country, and many things are puzzling. I asked some American wise men, and they answered that they couldn't figure it out.

Therefore, it will take time to have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the United States.

At the same time, the Chinese factor is everywhere here, and everyone is talking about China.

In fact, many people do not understand China, do not understand Chinese, do not understand China's history, culture and people, but they all act like "Chinese experts" and understand China better than I am.

The United States treats China like parents scolding children, "you are wrong", "you have to do this" and "you shouldn't do that."

There are many misconceptions, false information and rumors about China, which surprised me.

　　"On the other hand, I also deeply feel that the American people are friendly." Qin Gang went on to say that they are warm and easy-going. The things they care about and daily topics are the same as those of the Chinese people, such as employment, education, prices, and so on.

Every day I receive letters from ordinary Americans who are very interested in China and hope to learn more about China.

I have also communicated with Chinese students many times. They are kind and honest and eagerly hope to learn Chinese.

I can't help asking myself, which side represents the United States more?

This is like two sides of a coin, and I have to look into it in depth.
