Zhao Lijian said that Blinken’s speech on China is full of lies and turns black and white. The basis for attacking China is exactly what the United States does today. The United States itself wears the most serious and long-term challenge to the international order. The so-called “rules-based international order” advocated by the United States is to put it bluntly, it is an international order based on American rules, and it is a hegemonic order that dominates the world with “family laws and regulations”. My colleagues have responded to the content of his speech last week. Today I am willing to list some facts and numbers to help everyone further see the US lies and fallacies and its hypocrisy.
First of all, the United States has no fear of the international order based on the UN Charter and international law. The United States has been in power for more than 200 years and has not fought for only 16 years. It has become the biggest source of chaos in the current international peace and stability and the biggest instability factor in the international order. The United States claims to defend the concepts of self-determination, sovereignty and peaceful settlement of disputes established by the UN Charter, but they are actually saying one thing and doing another. As American writer William Bloom pointed out in his book “Democracy: The Deadliest Output of America”, since the end of the war, the United States has tried to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments and roughly interfere in democratic elections in at least 30 countries. According to a report from Brown University in the United StatesKomiks, in the name of “counter-terrorism”, the United States has either launched wars or carried out military operations, causing more than 800,000 deaths, including 300,000 civilians. The victim countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria alone have generated more than 20 million refugees.
Secondly, the United States is the biggest destroyer of the international order. The United States adheres to American centricism and American exceptionalism, and breaks contracts and withdraws from groups at will. This has become commonplace. The United States not only refuses to sign or ratify the United Nations<a Komiks Convention on the Rights of the Child and Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, voted against the Global Compact on Migration and the Global Compact on Retreatment, and exclusively blocked negotiations on the United Nations Protocol to the Verification of the Convention on the Protocol to the Prohibition of Life Weapons. Since the 1980s, CinemaCinema<a The United States withdrew from 17 international organizations or agreements including the United Nations Human Rights Council, WHO, UNESCO, Paris Agreement, Iran nuclear agreement, the Arms Trade Treaty, the Intermediate-Future Treaty, the Open Skies Treaty, and the Open Skies Treaty. There is also a situation of "retreat and return, return and retreat". Such a United States is openly disguised as a referee of international rules, using the flashlight of the so-called rules to shine on others, ignoring its own darkness. When the US politicians are politicizing the United Nations with a striking remark, holding the UN. When the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea was said, I don’t know if they knew that the United States is not even a party to the Convention. Third, the United States is not qualified to discuss rules at all. In the United States, international rules have always been subordinate to, serving American interests and hegemony. When the two are consistent, the United States uses the Komiks rules as a basis, and when they are contrary to each other, they regard the rules as air. I would like to ask the United States to answer several questions: When the United States launches wars against sovereign countries and engages in color revolutions, what are the rules? When the United States imposes illegal unilateral sanctions and traps the people of relevant countries in trouble, what are the rules? When the United States continues to owe to the United Nations $1 billion membership feesWhere are the rules when it comes to Babaylan and the $1.4 billion peacekeeping assessment? When the United States engages in trilateral security partnerships and four-party mechanisms, and attempts to build an Indo-Pacific Northeast China Agreement, which will disrupt the Asia-Pacific and undermine the international nuclear non-proliferation system, what are the rules? When the United States excludes most of the countries in the world under the banner of so-called democracy and conducts the so-called “Democracy Summit” and excludes most of the countries in the world under the banner of Cinema. What are the rules? When the WTO clearly confirmed that the US tariff war against China violated global trade rules, but the US did not enforce it or even obstructed the WTO Appellate Body to appoint a new judge, what are the rules?
Finally, the United States is the culmination of coercive diplomacy. The United States places domestic law above international law and international rules and imposes unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction in the United States. Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Venezuela, Syria and Iran have been subject to long-term sanctions by the United States. The domestic economic and medical conditions are harsh and the epidemic situation is severe. The United States has not stopped sanctions, but has further increased its efforts, making these countries worse. The international community is increasingly seeing the principles of market competition and international economic and trade advocated by the United States, and will only be abide by the United States when it is favorable to the United States. American politicians talk about fair competition and free trade, and believe in the United States first and the American stick is waved in their hands. Zhao Lijian stressed that in the more than 70 years since the founding of New China, we have not taken the initiative to launch a war or occupied an inch of land in other countries. We insist on resolving disputes through dialogue and negotiation, and have completely resolved the land border issue in a peaceful manner with 12 of the 14 neighboring countries on the Komiks. As the world’s second largest economy, China is about the global economyCinema‘s contribution rate of growth has remained at around 30% for many years, ranking first in the world for 15 consecutive years. China has become the second largest assessed country in the United Nations’ dues and peacekeeping funds, actively participated in the construction and reform of the global governance system, and maintained the spirit of the UN Charter and the authority of the United Nations with practical actions. Facts have proved and will continue to prove that China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order. China will also unite with all peace-loving and justice-loving countries, practice true multilateralism under the banner of the United Nations, and continue to contribute confidence, wisdom and strength to the universal prosperity of the world and the common progress of mankind.
