On April 28, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked about British Foreign Secretary Tras's remarks yesterday about whether China is worried that not condemning Russia's "invasion" will affect relations with Britain and Europe.
Wang Wenbin said in this regard: You just mentioned the relevant remarks of the British Foreign Secretary, Ms. Teras, and I have also noticed that she mentioned the "rules". International rules should be norms governing international relations based on the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, rather than the family laws and regulations of small circles and cliques. Ms. Tras also referred to NATO, which has long since ended, and as a product of the Cold War and the world's largest military alliance, NATO should judge the situation and make the necessary adjustments.
"However, NATO has long adhered to the old concept of security, engaged in camp confrontation, and become a tool for individual countries to seek hegemony," Wang Wenbin said, NATO claims to be a defensive organization, but in fact it is constantly creating confrontation and creating incidents. NATO demands that other countries abide by the basic norms governing international relations, but it has wantonly waged war against sovereign countries and indiscriminately bombed them, resulting in the loss and displacement of innocent civilians.
Wang Wenbin said: NATO is obviously a military organization in the North Atlantic, but in recent years it has run to the Asia-Pacific region to flaunt its might and stir up contradictions, and the impact of NATO's eastward expansion on Europe's peace, stability, and long-term peace and stability is worth reflecting on. NATO has already messed up Europe, so is it still going to mess up the Asia-Pacific region and the world?
"As for China's position on the Ukraine issue that you mentioned, we are consistent and clear, and we have always made independent judgments based on the merits of the matter itself." Wang Wenbin said.
