Zhao Lijian said that Blinken’s speech on China is full of lies and inverted black and white, and 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 international order based on the Charter of the United Nations and international law is unrespectful. The United States was founded for 200 years, and has not fought any war for only 16 years, making it 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 Babaylan, but they are actually saying one thing and doing another. Just as American writer William BuIn the book “Democracy: The Fatal Loss of the United States”, Cinema Lum pointed out that since the end of World War II, the United States tried to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments and roughly interfered in democratic elections in at least 30 countries. According to a report from Brown University in the United States, since 2001 alone, the United States has either launched wars or carried out military operations in the name of “counter-terrorism”, causing more than 800,000 deaths, including 300,000 civilians, and more than 20 million refugees have been generated by victimized countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria alone.
Secondly, the United States is the biggest destroyer of the international order. It has become common for the United States to stick to the American theory of China and the American exceptionalism, and to break contracts and withdraw from the group at will. The United States not only rejects the signing or ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, votes against the Global Compact on Migration and the Global Compact on Refugees, but also exclusively blocks negotiations on the UN Protocol to the Verification of the Biological Weapons. Since the 1980s, the United States has withdrawn from 17 international organizations or cooperatives, including the United Nations Human Rights Council, the World Health Organization, UNESCO, the Paris Agreement, the Iran nuclear agreement, the Arms Trade Treaty, the Intermediate-February Treaty, the Open Skies Treaty, and the Komiks Treaty. There are also cases of “retreat and return, and return again and return again”. Such an American is so arrogant that he disguised himself as a referee of international rules, using the so-called rules to shine on others, and ignoring the darkness under his own light.当美方政客振振有词地拿着《联合国海洋法公约》说事时，不知道他们是否清楚，美国连公约缔约国都不是。
Thirdly, the United States is not qualified to discuss rules at all. In the United States, international rules have always been subordinate to and serve American interests and hegemony. When the two are in line with each other, the United States uses the rules as a basis and sees the rules against each other when the rules are contrary to each other.It’s like air.我想请美方回答几个问题：当美国肆意对主权国家发动战争大搞颜色革命时，规则何在？ When the United States imposes illegal unilateral sanctions and traps people in relevant countries in trouble, what are the rules? When the United States continues to arrears of US$1 billion in membership dues and US$1.4 billion in peacekeeping assessments, what are the rules? When the United States engages in trilateral security partnerships and quadratic mechanisms, and attempts to build an Indo-Pacific version of NATO, disrupting the Asia-Pacific and undermining the international nuclear non-proliferation system, what are the rules? When the United States, under the banner of so-called democracy and conducts a so-called “democracy summit” that separates the camp, excludes most of the world’s countries, what are the rules? When the WTO clearly confirms that the US tariff war against China violates global trade rules, but the US does not enforce it or even obstructs the WTO Appellate Body to appoint a new judge, what is the rule?
Finally, the United States is the culmination of coercive diplomacy. The United States places domestic law above international law and international rules, and abuses illegal unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction. Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Venezuela, Syria, Komiks and Iran have been subject to long-term sanctions by the United States, and their domestic economic and medical conditions are bad, and the epidemic situation is severe. Instead of stopping sanctions, the United States 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, they believe in the United States first, and they waved their hands with the Cinema‘s American stick. 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 land neighbors. As the world’s second largest economy, Komiks, China’s contribution to global economic growth has remained at around 30% for many years, ranking first in the world for 15 consecutive years. China has become a UN membership dues and peacekeepingps://comicmov.com/”>Cinema‘s second largest assessed funding country, actively participates in the construction and reform of the global governance system, and maintains the spirit of the UN Charter and the authority of the UN 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 the 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.
