🔥 In a bold move, China's Foreign Ministry has slammed the Group of Seven (G7) for meddling in its internal affairs. Spokesperson Mao Ning didn't hold back on Wednesday, calling out the G7's \\"damaging rhetoric\\" regarding China's sovereignty.
The G7 recently released a joint statement expressing a desire for a \\"constructive and stable relationship\\" with China and cooperation on global challenges. But here's the catch: they also demanded that China stop supporting Russia's defense industry, criticized China's \\"overcapacity,\\" and made statements on issues like the South China Sea, Taiwan region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Mao Ning fired back, emphasizing that China has always maintained a firm and objective stance on these issues. She highlighted the importance of mutual respect and equality in international relations. 💬 \\"If the G7 seeks a constructive and stable relationship with China, it should take concrete actions to practice what it preaches and avoid attacks on China,\\" she said.
When it comes to the Ukraine crisis, Mao reiterated that China stands for peace talks and has never supplied weapons to any parties involved. She stressed that China strictly controls the export of dual-use items, including civilian drones. 🚁 \\"No third party should interfere with China's normal trade with Russia,\\" she added.
Addressing the G7's claims about \\"overcapacity,\\" Mao called the assertions false and urged the group to adopt a fair approach to competition. 🏗️
On issues related to the South China Sea, Taiwan, Xinjiang, Xizang, and Hong Kong, Mao said China's position remains consistent and firm. She expressed strong opposition to the G7's interference in China's internal affairs. 🇨🇳
\\"We urge G7 countries to adhere to the principles of the UN Charter and the basic norms of international relations and to manage their own affairs,\\" Mao stated.
Mao concluded by calling on the G7 to abandon \\"narrow geopolitical games\\" and contribute to international unity and cooperation. 🌍 She affirmed China's commitment as a responsible major country to fairness, inclusivity, and global development.
