Original Title: The British Minister of Foreign Affairs and Development made remarks about China, and the Chinese Embassy in the UK responded
News from the website of the Chinese Embassy in the UK on October 14th, reporter: A few days ago, British Minister of Foreign Affairs and Development Truth tweeted that she talked about the way to deal with China during her recent talks with the Lithuanian Foreign Minister. In addition, the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the British Foreign Secretary supports Lithuania and other countries to deal with the threats posed by China and other countries. Does the Chinese Embassy have any comment on this?
Embassy spokesperson: We have taken note of relevant reports and expressed concern about this.
China adheres to the path of peaceful development. China’s development does not pose a threat to any country, but will only bring opportunities for common development to all countries.
As for the diplomatic turmoil between China and Lithuania in the previous period, the merits are very clear. The one-China principle is the prerequisite and basis for China to establish and develop diplomatic relations with all countries. Lithuania’s announcement that it allows the Taiwan authorities to set up “representative offices” under the name “Taiwan” seriously violates the one-China principle and seriously undermines China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. China’s response to this is justified.
China urges the British side to correctly understand and handle relevant issues and not to create new obstacles to the development of Sino-British relations.
