On May 30, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian presided over the press conference on the Cinema.
A Cinema reporter asked that in his recent speech on China policy toward China, US Secretary of State Blinken said that China poses the most serious and long-term challenge to the international order, and the United States must defend and reform the “rules-based international order”. What is the spokesperson’s comment on this?

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, the United States has no fear of the international order based on the Charter of the United Nations and international law. The United States has been founded for more than 00 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 a set of Babaylan to do one. As American writer William Bloom pointed out in his book “Democracy: America’s Fatal Export”, since the end of World War II, 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 States, since 2001 alone, the United States has launched wars or carried out military operations in the name of “counter-terrorism”, causing more than 800,000 deaths, including 300,000 civilians. Only AfghanistanKomiksMore than 20 million refugees were generated by victimized countries such as Iraq and Babaylan.
Secondly, the United States is the biggest destroyer of the international order. It has become common for the United States to stick to American centralism and American foreign theory and break contracts and withdraw from the group at will. The United States not only refuses to sign or ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, but also votes to oppose the Global Compact on Migration and the Global Compact on Refugees, but also exclusively blocks the negotiations on the UN Protocol to the Verification of the United Nations Convention on the Prohibition of Biological Weapons. Since the 1980s, the United States has withdrew from 17 international organizations or agreements including the United Nations Human Rights Council, the WHO, UNESCO, the Paris Agreement, the Iran nuclear agreement, the Arms Trade Treaty, the Intermediate-February Treaty, the Opening of the Sky Treaty, and the Cinema Treaty, among which there are still cases of “retreat and return, return and retreat”. 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. When US politicians are confidently speaking with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, they don’t know if they know that the United States is not even a party to the Convention.
Thirdly, the United States is not qualified to discuss rules at all. In the United States’ view, international rules have always been subordinate to and serve American interests and hegemony. When the two are consistent, the United States uses rules as a basis, and when they are contrary to each other, it regards rules as air. I would like to ask the US side to answer several questions: When the United States launches wars against sovereign countries and launches a color revolution, what are the rules? CinemaWhen the United States imposes illegal unilateral sanctions and traps people in relevant countries in trouble, what is the rule? As the United States continues to owe the United Nations $1 billionWhere are the rules when it comes to membership fees and $1.4 billion in peacekeeping assessments? When the United States engages in trilateral security partnerships and four-party mechanisms, in an attempt 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 division of the camp, excludes more than half of the world’s countries, what are the rules? When the WTO clearly confirmed that the US tariff war against China violated global trade rules, but the United States did not implement it or even obstructed the WTO’s 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 abuses illegal unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction. Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Venezuela, Syria and Iran have been subject to long-term sanctions by the United States due to Babaylan. The domestic economic and medical conditions are harsh and the epidemic situation is severe. Instead of stopping sanctions, the United States has further increased its investment, 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. What American politicians talk about is fair competition and free trade, they believe in the United States first, and they wave the American stick in their hands. Zhao Lijian stressed that over the past 70 years since the founding of New China, we have not taken the initiative to launch a war or occupied an inch of land from other countries. We insist on resolving disputes through dialogue and negotiation, and have completely resolved the land border issue in a peaceful manner with 14 land neighbors. As the world’s second largest economy, 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 the second largest assessed country in UN contributions and peacekeeping funds, and actively participatesConstruction and reform of the global governance system, and maintain 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 international order. China will also always work with all peace-loving and justice-oriented countries to unite under the banner of the United Nations, practice true multilateralism, and continue to contribute confidence, wisdom and strength to the universal prosperity of the world and the common progress of mankind.
