China Fires Back at G7's \"Arrogance and Prejudice\" 😤
In a fiery response, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian didn't hold back on Monday! 🚀 Addressing the media at a regular press briefing, Lin slammed the recent G7 Leaders' Communique, saying it's packed with \"arrogance, prejudice, and lies.\" Ouch! 😱
\"The G7 statement once again hypes up issues related to China, slandering our country with unfounded allegations that lack factual basis, legal grounds, and any sense of morality,\" Lin stated. He described the communique as a cliché that's lost touch with reality.
The G7's statement, issued last Friday, touched on hot-button topics like the Taiwan Strait, the East China Sea, the South China Sea, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, and Xizang. It also brought up concerns over so-called Chinese overcapacity. 🤔
G7 Losing Its Mojo? 💔
Lin didn't mince words about the G7's relevance either. \"The G7 has long strayed from its original purpose of coordinating for stability in the global economic environment,\" he said. \"It's increasingly becoming a political tool to perpetuate U.S. and Western supremacy.\" 🎯
He accused the group of drawing lines along ideological differences, forming exclusive cliques, and stirring up confrontation. \"They're fanning flames and shirking responsibilities in regional conflicts, sending military vessels and aircraft into the Asia-Pacific to create tensions, and arming the Taiwan region to threaten peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait,\" Lin charged.
Who’s Really Coercing the Economy? 🌐💸
On allegations of \"Chinese overcapacity,\" Lin called them baseless. \"It's unsupported by facts or the laws of economics. It's an excuse for protectionism and undermines global efforts for a green and low-carbon transition,\" he pointed out.
He flipped the script on the G7, accusing them of being the real economic coercers. \"The G7 continues to politicize and weaponize trade, which reverses our globalized world where countries' interests are deeply integrated. Such behavior will eventually backfire on the G7 itself,\" Lin warned.
Looks like the tensions between China and the G7 are heating up! Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story. 🔥
