A reporter asked a question. According to reports, on the 15th, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison criticized China's position on the Ukraine issue and called on China to condemn Russia.
NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg also said that the approach of Sino-Russian relations threatens NATO's security.
What is China's comment?
Wang Wenbin said that under the leadership of the heads of state of China and Russia, China and Russia have always insisted on developing long-term good-neighborly friendship and mutually beneficial cooperative relations on the basis of non-alignment, non-confrontation, and non-targeting of third countries. The goal of a new type of international relations featuring justice, win-win cooperation, and the contribution to the promotion of international and regional peace and development is obvious to all, beyond doubt.
Wang Wenbin said that the international community can see very clearly who is the real troublemaker and who is the real security threat in the world.
Any act of selfishness and blaming others will not only cause harm to the country and its own people, but also to people all over the world.
Not only will the forces of justice in the world not agree, but they will also be abandoned by the trend of the times.
Wang Wenbin emphasized that China advocates a balanced and fair treatment of the security concerns and security initiatives of relevant countries, resolves differences through dialogue and consultation, and promotes global strategic balance and stability.
We urge relevant parties to stop making remarks that exacerbate tensions. Such practices of advocating confrontation and spreading false information for political gain are immoral and very dangerous.
