“The US is not projecting strength under [Biden's] leadership, and it's harming Israel and other countries. He said 'Don't' at the start of the war - to Hezbollah, as well as Iran. We saw the result. If I were an American citizen with the right to vote, I'd vote for Trump and Republicans.”

“The return of Crimea is absolutely unrealistic. Before the failure of Ukraine's counteroffensive last summer there was a chance to return the annexed peninsula had Ukrainian forces reached the Azov Sea and started shelling the Crimean bridge and the Kerch Strait that divides the Azov and Black seas. But now it's hardly real to penetrate Russian defence farther than the takeover of the Kinburn peninsula.”

“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.”
“Throughout the year 2020, we have pooled every resource available and lost no time in delivering people-centered diplomacy. We have defied risks and danger to put up a firm line of defense for our fellow Chinese in every corner of the world. We overcame various difficulties to deliver more than 1.2 million health kits to overseas Chinese students, sent emergency medical supplies to overseas Chinese in 100-plus countries, and arranged over 350 special flights to bring home stranded Chinese nationals.”
“We know some people in the United States are apprehensive about China’s rapid development, but the most sustainable leadership is to constantly move forward yourself, rather than block the development of other countries. We raced against time, and were the earliest to report the epidemic to the world. More and more studies show that the epidemic very probably emerged in many places throughout the world.”
“Australia should seriously consider a question: Is China a threat or a partner to Australia? If Australia sees China as a threat, how can China-Australia relations improve? If Australia regards China as a partner, we have the basic premise for dialogue and cooperation. The current difficulties in China-Australia relations is not what China wants to see. We still hope that China-Australia relations can return to the track of normal and healthy development.”
“What we see and hear every day from almost all senior officials of the US government are attacks and accusations toward China without real evidence. Some attacks contain the presumption of guilt or are used as some sort of emotional catharsis. They have neglected the broad common interests and room for cooperation by listing China as a major competitor, even a threat. This is an error. China is not a threat to the US. It has not been in the past and will not be in the future.”
“We need to replace sanctions with dialogue and consultation. Unilateral sanctions had become the biggest destabilising factor to regional and global security. China is not a threat to the United States - was not, is not and will not be a threat.”
“Now is the time for China to ask the United States not to interfere in China’s internal affairs. The National People’s Congress [China’s rubber-stamp parliament] has never discussed formulating bills targeting the internal affairs of the United States, but the US Congress has frequently introduced various bills on the internal affairs of China. The US has gone too far and stretched its hands too long! We suggest some people in the US better manage their own affairs first, abide by the principles of international relations and stop interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.”
“We will not take the initiative to complicate or escalate the situation. Of course, we must also firmly safeguard our sovereignty and territorial integrity. The border between China and India has not been demarcated, so there will always be problems of this kind. We are willing to manage various problems through dialogue with the Indian side.”
“The US has bluntly pursued its ‘America first’ policy, pushing egoism, unilateralism and bullying to the limit, and that’s not what a great power should be about. The US, which has … resorted to extreme measures and even created hotspots and confrontations in international relationships, has lost its mind, morals and credibility.”
“We never pick a fight or bully others. But we have principles and guts. We will push back against any deliberate insult, resolutely defend our national honor and dignity, and we will refute all groundless slander with facts”
“I want to say here: Don't waste precious time any longer, and don't ignore lives. What China and the United States need to do the most is to first learn from each other and share their experience in fighting against the epidemic, and help each country fight against the epidemic. China has always advocated that, as the world's largest developing country and the largest developed country, both of us bear a major responsibility for world peace and development”
