In the latest diplomatic drama, the Chinese mainland just slammed the U.S. House Select Committee on China for launching what it calls an "irresponsible investigation" that smears its image and even blocks education exchanges. 🎓
Spokesperson Guo Jiakun fired back after the committee released a report packed with disinformation and proposals to clamp down on normal study-abroad programs and joint research. 🚫
"Exchange and cooperation in education between the two countries is mutually beneficial," Guo said, adding that it helps connect people, boost understanding, and is exactly what both sides want. 🤝🌏
However, Guo warned that some U.S. politicians are stretching the concept of national security too far, interfering in academic and cultural ties—a move he says will find no support and go nowhere. 👀
The Chinese mainland urged the U.S. to act on President Donald Trump's promise to welcome Chinese students and to stop harming the interests of involved parties and bilateral relations. It also vowed to keep a close watch and take all necessary steps to firmly defend its legitimate rights. 💪
