　　"The United States and Europe hold consultations on their own, but China is firmly opposed to using China to speak out, and even more opposes pointing fingers and threatening pressure on China in the name of consultations," the spokesman said.

　　The spokesperson pointed out that the joint press release of the European and American consultations is not self-inviting. There are indeed some countries and organizations in the world, under the guise of safeguarding sovereignty and territorial integrity, but doing things that undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries; In the name of maintaining peace and security, it is actually seeking absolute security for one's own selfish interests.
