Chinese Ambassador to the ROK on ROK-US Relations: I hope that the ROK side will abide by the political consensus between China and the ROK and not be taken astray

According to the news on the website of the Chinese Embassy in the Rok of Korea on June 11, on June 10, Ambassador Xing Haiming was interviewed live by the gold medal program "Kim Hyun-ting's News Show" of the South Korean CBS Broadcasting Corporation, interpreting the development of Sino-ROK relations and the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and answering questions from the host on Sino-US relations and ROK-US relations. Some of them are as follows:

On Sino-US relations, Xing Haiming said that Sino-US relations are one of the most important bilateral relations in the world. A healthy and stable Sino-US relationship is the common expectation of the international community, and it is also conducive to maintaining the stability and prosperity of the regional situation, including the peninsula. At present, Sino-US relations are facing difficulties because the US side has not been able to get out of the misunderstanding of China and has not found the correct path and method for dealing with China. The US side is comprehensively implementing the policy of suppressing and containing China in the economic, scientific and technological fields, and the "Indo-Pacific strategy" it promotes is full of Cold War mentality and provokes group confrontation. It is hoped that the ROK side will have an objective understanding of this, grasp the merits and demerits, and adhere to the correct position.

On ROK-US relations, Xing Hae-ming said: We hope that the development of ROK-US relations is conducive to promoting regional peace, stability, development, and prosperity. But if there is anything involving China in the development of SOUTH Korea-US relations, we will certainly pay attention to it. Not long ago, the ROK-US joint statement mentioned Taiwan, the South China Sea and other issues, and we have to express our concern about this. As friendly neighbors and strategic partners, the development of relations between China and the ROK should not be interfered with or affected by external factors such as ROK-US relations. It is hoped that the ROK side will abide by the political consensus between China and the ROK and not be deviated from the rhythm.
