CCTV News: According to the website of the "Chinese Embassy in the UK", on June 25, a spokesperson for the Embassy in the UK answered questions from reporters on the speech of the British government's "Policy Assessment to China" and the content of the "National Security Strategy" report on China.
Reporter: On June 24, British Foreign Minister Rammy delivered a speech in the Lower House of Parliament on the "Policy Assessment to China". On the one hand, he emphasized the importance of China and said that the UK should strengthen contact and cooperation with China. On the other hand, he continued to falsely claim that China has posed multiple threats to the UK in the field of security, and made remarks on issues involving Taiwan, Hong Kong, the South China Sea, and human rights. The report "National Security Strategy" released by the British side on the same day also mentioned China many times. What is China’s comment on this?
The Embassy spokesperson: We firmly oppose the wrong remarks spreading China's "threat", groundless accusations, and interference in China's internal affairs in the British speeches and reports.
Facts have fully proved that China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of international order. China's development does not pose a challenge or threat to any country, but will only bring opportunities for common development to countries around the world. The so-called accusations such as China's espionage, cyber attacks, and transnational repression against the UK are purely out of nothing and malicious slander. Issues involving Taiwan, Hong Kong, human rights, etc. are purely China's internal affairs, and no external force has the right to interfere. China's determination to safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests is unswerving, and will never allow any external forces to provoke trouble.
We advise the British side to understand the situation, correct their mentality, and completely abandon Cold War thinking and ideological prejudice. Only by upholding the correct understanding of China, adhering to mutual respect and open cooperation, can dialogue and exchanges in various fields of China and the UK proceed smoothly and bilateral relations can move forward steadily.
