China News Service, Beijing, November 7 (Xie Yanbing) Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian hosted a regular press conference on November 7.
A reporter asked: Recently, the G7 foreign ministers issued a joint statement in Germany, saying that the member countries of the G7 seek to develop constructive cooperation with China in "fields that may be in their interests".
In addition, the G7 foreign ministers reminded China to abide by the relevant principles of the UN Charter for the peaceful settlement of disputes and the avoidance of threats and violence.
The statement also touches on China's internal affairs, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Tibet.
What is China's comment on this statement?
Zhao Lijian: China's position on Hong Kong-related, Xinjiang-related and Taiwan-related issues is consistent and clear.
The so-called joint statement of the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting ignores China's solemn position and objective facts, grossly interferes in China's internal affairs, maliciously smears China, and China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this.
China is an example of practicing the UN Charter and practicing true multilateralism.
China has always been committed to promoting the international community to jointly address global challenges and building a community with a shared future for mankind.
We urge the G7 to stop clinging to the Cold War mentality and ideological prejudice, stop interfering in other countries' internal affairs, stop repeating lies and fallacies, stop provoking regional conflicts, create camp confrontation, and create favorable conditions for global cooperation.
