According to reports, the British parliament recently issued a "grounding order" for the Chinese ambassador to the UK, prohibiting him from participating in the summer reception held by the "cross-party China group." The Chinese Embassy then responded that Britain's move was a coward's move.
According to reports, the summer reception, jointly organized by the British Parliament's "Cross-Party China Group" and the "Britain-China Business Association", was scheduled to be held at the British Parliament Building on the 15th of this month. The reception was facilitated by the British side, which shows that the United Kingdom is actively seeking trade cooperation with China. However, what was unexpected was that the British side single-handedly facilitated the reception, but refused to allow the Chinese ambassador to the UK to attend.
According to the report, a few days ago, the upper and lower houses of the British Parliament discussed the summer reception and decided to postpone it. At the same time, some lawmakers proposed to prohibit the Chinese ambassador to the British Parliament from attending the event, on the grounds that the Chinese side had sanctioned 7 members of the British Parliament. Subsequently, the speakers of the upper and lower houses of the British Parliament agreed to the proposal of the deputies and issued a "ban order" to the Chinese ambassador.
The reasons why British parliamentarians banned the Chinese ambassador from attending the event show that their move was clearly an ulterior motive. According to expert analysis, the reason why the United Kingdom did this is to force the Chinese side to lift sanctions on British parliamentarians. But China has never accepted coercion, so of course we will not lift the sanctions against British parliamentarians.
After the British parliament issued a "ban order", the Chinese Embassy in the UK subsequently responded to the matter. According to the report, on September 14, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the UK held a press conference on the matter and answered relevant questions. The Chinese side stressed that the decision of the British Parliament to issue a "ban order" is an absolute cowardly, short-sighted and reckless act. The Chinese side despises and strongly condemns this decision of the British side.
At the same time, the spokesperson of our embassy said that the sanctions imposed by the Chinese side against the UK are based on the legitimate reaction of some British personnel to fabricate false information to smear China, and the Chinese side does not accept any rebuttals and accusations on this issue. It is reported that in March this year, some British personnel fabricated false information to smear Chinese enterprises and individuals, and took the lead in boycotting Chinese enterprises and their products, which caused a more serious impact on some Chinese enterprises. In addition, British personnel have also tried to undermine regional stability and economic development in our country.
Given that these people's practices have caused substantial harm to Chinese companies and individuals, the Chinese side must reciprocally counter them. In March, China released a list of sanctions against the issue, including a number of Individuals and Entities in the United Kingdom, including seven members of the British Parliament.
The reason why China has sanctioned these 7 parliamentarians is entirely a justifiable reciprocal countermeasure against the Uk, and is a legitimate reaction to these people's vain attempts to undermine China's economic development and sovereign security. The British Parliament, on the other hand, banned the Chinese ambassador from attending the event on this ground, which is simply incomprehensible.
Moreover, the United Kingdom has previously sanctioned a number of Chinese entities under the pretext of national security and other unwarranted reasons, and now China has sanctioned British entities and individuals on legitimate grounds, but has been pointed out by the United Kingdom. In fact, the United Kingdom, and even most Western countries, have always been like this: they can only sanction other countries, not other countries to sanction them, which is typical of "only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps."
The hegemonism and robber mentality of western countries have been engraved in their bones, and they will never change easily, and the only thing that can make them restrain is the strength to crush them. Previously, the British aircraft carrier sailed through the South China Sea but left in a low profile is a best example, the British "Queen Elizabeth" aircraft carrier clamored to "show muscle" to China before departure, but as a result, after arriving in the South China Sea, it did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary, and obediently reported the movement of its aircraft carrier to the Chinese side, which was obviously shocked by China's military strength.
Although the British saw the gap between them and China in terms of military strength, they did not dare to continue to provoke China. However, some British personnel obviously have no selfish intentions, and they also try to continue to make small moves in the field of trade, forcing China to lift sanctions against 7 parliamentarians. It is clear that these people do not have a clear understanding of the current situation, this so-called summer reception was originally facilitated by the British side, and the Chinese ambassador was invited to attend in recognition of his positive gesture of willingness to strengthen Sino-British trade cooperation.
But since the British side is so arrogant, China does not need to be polite to them. In fact, even if the Chinese side does not participate in this reception, there will be no loss, but the Loss of the British side is relatively large. After all, under the epidemic, China is the most dynamic economy in the world, and all countries in the world are seeking cooperation with China, and since some british personnel have no intention of cooperating with China, we do not need to force it. For China, the most important thing is to continue to maintain its current development momentum and continuously increase its share in the world economy. As long as we are strong enough, "friends" will come to the door on their own.
