“With regard to the Ukraine crisis, we have consistently upheld the fundamental principles of objectivity and impartiality, without favouring one side or the other, or adding fuel to the fire, still less seeking selfish gains from the situation.”
“Don't be too anxious and don't be too nervous. Because the common development and prosperity of China and all the other developing countries would only mean great harmony, greater justice and greater progress of the whole world.”
“China is not a party to the crisis, still less wants to be affected by the sanctions. China rejects sanctions in principle and has the right to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.”
“All parties should sit down to have in-depth discussion, and come up with a road map and timetable for implementation of the Minsk Agreement. The sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of any country should be respected and safeguarded.”
“If the United States really wants to maintain peace in the Taiwan Strait, it should clearly and resolutely oppose any Taiwan pro-independence behavior.”
“China and South Korea have been in different situations, but both countries so far have each been supporting the development paths that the other has chosen and paid respect to each other's key interests. And we should maintain this good tradition in the future as it will be an important factor in developing healthy bilateral relations.”
“The common view of the international community is that the end of military intervention by the United States and its allies should be the beginning of them assuming their responsibilities. They are more obligated than any other country to provide economic, livelihood and humanitarian assistance to the Afghan people, and help Afghanistan maintain stability, prevent chaos and move toward sound development on the premise of respecting the sovereignty and independence of Afghanistan.”
“While respecting the sovereignty of Afghanistan, the U.S. should take concrete action to help Afghanistan fight terrorism and stop violence, rather than playing double standards or fighting terrorism selectively.”
“We hope the Afghan Taliban will make a clean break with all terrorist organizations including ETIM (East Turkestan Islamic Movement) and resolutely and effectively combat them to remove obstacles, play a positive role and create enabling conditions for security, stability, development and cooperation in the region.”
“The Taliban are a pivotal military and political force in Afghanistan, and are expected to play an important role in the process of peace, reconciliation and reconstruction.”
“The US has always put pressure on others with its self-claimed strengths in a condescending manner. But I want to tell the US side that there is never a country that is superior to others, and there shouldn't be one. China will never accept any country who thinks this way.”
“China-US relations have encountered unprecedented difficulties as China's legitimate rights and interests have been unreasonably suppressed. It harms the interests of the peoples of the two countries as well as world stability and development. The situation should not be continued. The old habit of the US hegemonic behavior of willfully interfering in China's internal affairs must be changed.”
“In the colonial era, Hong Kong had no democracy at all. Twenty-four years since Hong Kong's return, no side cares more about the city's democratic development, stability and prosperity than the Chinese central government.”
“The Chinese government has no room for compromise. We urge the new US administration to fully understand the high sensitivity of the Taiwan issue and completely change the previous administration's dangerous practices of 'crossing the line' and 'playing with fire.”
“We urge the Lithuanian side to stay true to the one-China principle, abide by the commitments it made upon establishing diplomatic ties with China, refuse to be taken advantage of by Taiwan separatist forces, and avoid doing anything detrimental to bilateral political mutual trust.”
“We hope the United States will respect China's core interests, national dignity, and rights to development. We urge the United States to stop smearing the Communist Party of China and China's political system, stop conniving at or even supporting the erroneous words and actions of separatist forces seeking 'Taiwan independence,' and stop undermining China's sovereignty and security through internal affairs concerning Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Tibet.”
“Over the past few years, the United States basically cut off bilateral dialogue at all levels. We stand ready to have candid communication with the U.S. side, and engage in dialogues aimed at solving problems.”
