The Chinese Embassy in the United States has firmly pushed back against recent U.S. media and political figures who have spotlighted alleged illegal immigration from China. 🇨🇳✋
In a statement released on Monday, the embassy spokesperson emphasized that China's stance on illegal immigration is consistent and clear: China strongly opposes all forms of illegal immigration.
\"In recent years, Chinese law enforcement agencies have been cracking down hard on crimes that disrupt our national borders, maintaining high pressure against smuggling organizations and offenders,\" the spokesperson noted. \"These efforts have yielded positive results.\" 🔍🚓
China has also been collaborating with other nations to tackle cross-border smuggling, repatriate illegal immigrants, and ensure orderly international migration. 🤝🌐
However, the spokesperson criticized some U.S. media and politicians for using the issue as a pretext to smear China. \"Illegal immigration is a global challenge that requires international cooperation. We firmly oppose using this issue to scapegoat China,\" the statement read. 🛑🎯
The embassy expressed openness to working with the U.S. on repatriating illegal immigrants but urged the U.S. to demonstrate sincerity, address China's concerns equally, and foster a conducive atmosphere for cooperation. 🌟✨
