Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Urge the G7 to comply with the general trend of an open and inclusive era and not engage in coercive diplomacy and closed and exclusive “small circles”
CCTV News Client News On May 19, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin presided over a regular press conference.
A reporter asked a question. Yesterday Xinhua News Agency released the report “U.S. Coercive Diplomacy and Its Dangers”, which we noticed was reprinted on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On the same day, a senior U.S. government official said that the G7 summit communiqué would express concerns about China’s “economic coercion.” What is the spokesperson’s comment?
Wang Wenbin said that the United States is accustomed to accusing other countries of coercing other countries into obedience with major power status, coercive policies, and economic coercion, and engaging in coercive diplomacy. This is mirroring other countries with its own “black history”. In fact, the United States is the initiator of coercive diplomacy. The invention rights, patent rights, and intellectual property rights of coercive diplomacy are none other than the United States. Today, coercive diplomacy is a standard feature in the foreign policy toolbox of the United States. In order to achieve self-interest, containment and suppression in various fields such as politics, economy, military, and culture are used by the United States to engage in coercive diplomacy around the world. Countries around the world are deeply affected by it. The developing countries bear the brunt of the harm.
The United States issued the “Chip and Science Act”, requiring semiconductor companies receiving federal financial assistance not to expand substantially in China, coercing allies to restrict exports to China, and trying to “split the global chip production and supply chain in two.” The United States has abused state power to suppress Chinese high-tech companies, and even threatened other countries not to cooperate with Chinese 5G suppliers.
The United States is also ruthless and merciless against its allies. Companies such as Japan’s Toshiba, Germany’s Siemens, and France’s Alstom have all been victims of US coercive diplomacy.
“If the G7 summit wants to discuss the issue of economic coercion, it might as well first discuss how the United States coerces the other six member states.” Wang Wenbin said.
He pointed out that this report, based on a large number of facts and data, fully exposed the evil deeds of the United States in promoting coercive diplomacy around the world. development, regional stability, and world peace, “I suggest that everyone read it carefully and take a closer look.”
Wang Wenbin said that China has never engaged in coercion and bullying, and has always been unequivocally opposed to hegemonism, unilateralism and coercive diplomacy. We urge the G7 to conform to the general trend of an open and inclusive era, and not to engage in coercive diplomacy and closed and exclusive “small circles”.
