China News Service, Beijing, April 12 (Reporter Huang Yuqin) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian hosted a regular press conference on the 12th.
A reporter asked: According to a poll recently launched by Global.com, 90% of Chinese netizens interviewed believe that the US position on the Ukraine issue is not fairness and justice, but hegemony and bullying.
What is the spokesperson's comment on this?
Zhao Lijian: I have noticed the relevant polls, which reflect the call for justice of the majority.
The Ukrainian issue has evolved to this day, and the ins and outs are very clear.
The actions of NATO led by the United States have gradually pushed the contradiction between Russia and Ukraine to the crater.
Not only has the United States failed to take practical actions to ease the situation, but it has continued to add fuel to the fire, intensify contradictions, and force countries to choose sides and create a "chilling effect" that is either friend or foe.
Isn't this hegemonic bullying?
The US has also repeatedly spread false news, smeared and slandered China, distorted China's responsible stance on promoting peace and talks, and attempted to shift conflicts, provoke confrontation, and take advantage of the opportunity to find room for maneuver in the conspiracy of "suppressing China and Russia at the same time."
Isn't this hegemonic bullying?
The U.S. hegemony and bullying behavior exposed by the Ukraine issue is only the tip of the iceberg of U.S.-style hegemony.
The United States adheres to the Cold War mentality, is keen to draw ideological lines, engages in closed and exclusive circles, and provokes confrontation. Its real purpose is to continue its hegemony and power.
Under the guise of democracy, freedom and human rights, the United States is used to instigating regional disputes by launching color revolutions and other means, and even directly launching foreign wars, exacerbating regional and global security tensions, and seeking huge economic interests and geopolitical advantages.
The United States also wields the stick of unilateral sanctions to suppress and contain other countries, engage in economic coercion, and seriously undermine the stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain.
The U.S. uses international law and international rules if they conform to them or discards them if they don’t. The “rules-based order” that the U.S. advertises is the “help rules” for the U.S. to maintain its own power and hegemony.
Peaceful development is the general trend and the aspiration of the people.
The U.S. act of hegemony and bullying against the trend of the times has aroused stronger and stronger opposition and resistance from the international community.
The United States should face up to international public opinion including China, abandon the Cold War zero-sum mentality as soon as possible, abandon the outdated logic of pursuing absolute security at the expense of other countries' security, and return to the path of maintaining international fairness and justice.
