On the 7th, Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang pointed out the United States as the cause of the US-China conflict and strongly criticized it.
At a press conference held on the occasion of the National People’s Congress (NPC) in Beijing on the same day, Chin said, “The United States claims to compete with China rather than pursue conflict, but the competition the United States speaks of is actually full-scale blockade and suppression, saying, ‘If you die, I will Living is a ‘zero-sum game’, he argued.
He added that for the United States to regard China as its most significant geopolitical challenge is “like the first button on the shirt is misplaced” and “this will lead to a complete departure from rational and sane China policy.”
In particular, Chin emphasized, “If the US continues to speed on the wrong road without braking, even a guardrail cannot prevent a derailment or collision.”
Chin also strongly criticized the US policy on Taiwan that day.
“The Taiwan issue is the core of China’s core interests,” said Chin. “It is the political foundation of China-US relations and the first red line that must never be crossed.
“The reason we are discussing the Taiwan issue with the US is to ask the US not to interfere in China’s internal affairs,” he said.
“The firm determination, strong will and great ability of the Chinese government and people to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity should not be underestimated,” he warned.
Meanwhile, Chin repeatedly emphasized cooperation with Russia at a press conference that day.
“When Russia and China cooperate, there is an impetus for the multipolarization of the world and the democratization of international relations,” said Qin.
