Foreigners in China who receive notices that they may be used as hostages by China? The Foreign Ministry refutes the lie

The Paper's senior reporter Yu Xiaoqing and reporter Wang Zhuoyi

On September 28, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying presided over a regular press conference. Some reporters asked questions, and some US media said that after the release of Canadian citizens Michael and Kovrig Kovrig, Westerners working in China have received notices that they may be arrested at any time on "fabricated charges" and used as hostages by China at any time in the future. What is the Spokesperson's comment on this?

Hua Chunying responded: This remark sounds familiar and is the same as the absurd lies that some people in the United States and the West have created incitement and appalling on China-related issues. However, it is playing the game of "wolf coming" again, spreading false information to smear and slander China. We have stated many times that Michael Kovrig and Michael Kovrig are suspected of crimes endangering China's national security, and the facts of the crime are conclusive, and the two confessed to the facts of the crime and wrote the confession and repentance materials in their own handwriting.

Hua Chunying pointed out that as we all know, the United States is the founding father of hostage diplomacy and coercive diplomacy, the birthplace and headquarters of this patent are in Washington, and the United States has provided the world with many classic cases of coercive diplomacy through its own policies and actions. Alstom, France, which was once hunted by the United States in a similar way, was one of the victims. I noticed that Pierroucci, a former executive of Alstom, admitted in an interview with CGTN a few days ago, "I am not as lucky as Meng Wanzhou, my company has not provided me with such strong support, and my motherland has not provided me with strong support." From the Meng Wanzhou incident, I observed that the entire Huawei company supported her from beginning to end, and in the diplomatic field, China has also made great efforts to reach this agreement, and perhaps no European country will say it in the end, but everyone should be happy about the outcome of the Meng Wanzhou incident in their hearts. Because this is indeed the first time that a country has confronted the crazy long-arm jurisdiction of the United States head-on. This will benefit many other countries, provided they have the courage to do the same and rise up against what the United States is doing. For the future, let us wait and see, the Meng Wanzhou incident is expected to become a historic turning point. ”
