Foreign ministry refutes Slovenian prime minister's erroneous remarks related to Taiwan
2022-01-20
According to the foreign ministry website, foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian presided over today's regular press conference. The actual record is as follows: CCTV reporter from CCTV: it is reported that UN Secretary General Guterres delivered a video speech at the 2022 World Economic Forum, saying that at present, it is still far from the goal announced by who to complete the vaccination of 40% of the global population by the end of 2021 and 70% by the middle of this year, "the vaccination rate in high-income countries is shamefully seven times higher than that in African countries", And once again called for vaccine equity. What is the speaker's comment on this? Zhao Lijian: Secretary General Guterres' words are thought-provoking. The novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic has been delayed for third years, and it poses serious threats to human life and health and global economic development. At the same time, the immune defense line constructed by the vaccine continues to be impacted by the mutant strain, and the "immune gap" between developed and developing countries is widening. In the face of the complex situation of global anti epidemic, strengthening confidence and working together is the only right way to overcome the epidemic. China will keep its word and act accordingly. We put forward the global vaccine cooperative action initiative and have always stood in the "first phalanx" of international anti epidemic cooperation and acted as the "first echelon" of equitable vaccine distribution. *** China has become the country that provides the most vaccines to foreign countries. One out of every two vaccines used worldwide is "made in China". The first batch of vaccines received by many countries, especially developing countries, came from China, and most of the vaccines obtained by these countries so far also came from China. *** We also cooperate with the 20 countries to produce vaccines on the spot and take practical actions to help developing countries produce vaccines. Putting an end to the pandemic is a top priority. According to the barrel theory, how much water a barrel can hold is determined by the shortest board. It is hoped that relevant countries and international organizations will work with China to bridge the global "immunization gap" and truly contribute to mankind's early victory over the epidemic. Yonhap: it is reported that the United States officially promoted the Security Council to implement a new round of sanctions against North Korea. If China does not raise any objection before the 20th of this month, the Security Council will formally adopt the draft resolution on sanctions against the DPRK. Will China raise any objection to this? Zhao Lijian: China has noted the recent trends in all aspects of the situation on the Korean Peninsula. What I can tell you is that the Security Council has not discussed the so-called draft resolution on sanctions against the DPRK. We hope that members of the Security Council will take a long-term and overall view of the current situation, focus on promoting the political settlement process of the Peninsula issue, seriously consider the relevant suggestions put forward by China, and make positive efforts to stabilize the situation, accumulate mutual trust and restart dialogue. Polish Radio: Poland said that President Duda would attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics. What's your comment? *** President Duda has been infected with COVID-19 and is recovering in the near future. Can you introduce the epidemic prevention laws involving foreign heads of state to China? In addition, which heads of state have confirmed their attendance at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games? Zhao Lijian: we have noticed that President Duda has recovered and returned to his post recently. China warmly welcomes president Duda to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, which fully expresses the common wish of the international community to "work together for the future". The curtain of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games is about to open. China is confident to work with all parties to practice the Olympic spirit of "more unity" and present a simple, safe and wonderful winter Olympic event to the world. As for which heads of state you asked have confirmed to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, according to the Olympic rules, leaders of various countries will attend the Olympic Games at the invitation of their national Olympic committees and registered in the IOC system. At present, many heads of state, government and members of the royal family have registered to attend the Beijing Winter Olympics. We welcome them. China is committed to making more contributions to the International Olympic cause and will present a simple, safe and wonderful Olympic event to the world. Polish Radio reporter: a Chinese citizen who used to be the head of Huawei's public relations department has been detained in Poland for three years. What is China's comment on this? Zhao Lijian: China has repeatedly stated its position on this case. The Chinese government has always attached great importance to safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of overseas Chinese citizens. We demand that Poland handle the case fairly and properly according to law, and earnestly protect the legitimate rights and interests, safety and humanitarian treatment of the parties. I have also noticed that both the Polish side and Huawei have stated that the Wang Weijing case is a simple case. It is hoped that Poland will handle the case according to law and regulations on the basis of facts. Surging news reporter: there are 16 days left for the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. With the opening approaching, more and more countries and international organizations have expressed their views on the Beijing Winter Olympic Games and expressed their confidence in the Beijing Winter Olympic Games and their support for China's hosting the games. Could the speaker give us some information? Zhao Lijian: as you said, for some time, the international community has firmly supported the safe and smooth holding of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games as scheduled. It can be said that one wave after another. I would like to ask, do all the reporters here collect stamps? Recently, the United Nations Postal Administration has announced that in order to celebrate the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympic Games, the United Nations will issue stamps with the theme of "sports for peace". This is the first time that the United Nations has issued stamps for the Winter Olympics. This is good news for stamp collectors. IOC President Bach has repeatedly expressed his firm support for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games to be held as scheduled. He believes that the closed loop of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games is a "safe haven" for the global epidemic and "the safest place in the world". He stressed that China's closed-loop management was safe and smooth, and the service guarantee was thoughtful and considerate, which was highly praised by the international community. Who has also repeatedly said that the existing epidemic prevention measures for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games are sufficient to meet the challenge of the epidemic. In view of China's strict and effective epidemic prevention measures, who is full of confidence in the safe hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. Cotes, vice president of the International Olympic Committee and President of the Australian Olympic Committee, is satisfied with and confident in the epidemic prevention measures of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. He said that China's epidemic prevention and control work is very in place. For Australian athletes, the most important thing is to be able to compete safely. Therefore, they are very happy with China's epidemic prevention measures and have no complaints at all. The Olympic Committees of Canada, Denmark and Switzerland also publicly expressed their expectations for the Beijing Winter Olympics and believed that China could host the Games smoothly as scheduled. In addition, officials from the governments and Olympic Committees of Belgium, Norway, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia and the Philippines spoke positively of the epidemic prevention and control and closed-loop management of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, and expressed full trust in China's preparations and epidemic prevention measures. At the same time, we have noticed that the voice against the politicization of sports is becoming higher and stronger. My colleagues and I have repeatedly introduced the situation that many governments and international organizations oppose the politicization of sports and look forward to the complete success of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. Here I would like to share some more: Recently, Pakistani President alwi said that those who attempt to politically intervene in the Beijing Winter Olympics will eventually fail. "The world will see a positive and healthy picture of the Beijing Winter Olympics". Czech President Zeman firmly opposes the use of the Olympic concept by politics and believes that "the absence of political clowns will not have any impact on the Olympic Games". During a video meeting with state councilor Wang Yi, Estonian foreign minister limetz said that Estonia supports China in hosting the Beijing Winter Olympic Games and has participated in the joint proposal of the Olympic truce resolution. She believes that the Winter Olympics will be a complete success. Pakistan News Agency: in an interview with Chinese media, Pakistani President alwi expressed his belief that China will successfully host the Beijing Winter Olympics. Pakistan will fully participate in this event. What's your comment on this? Zhao Lijian: Thank you for your question. China notes that President Alvey spoke positively of China Pakistan Relations in the interview, highly affirmed the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics, took a clear stand against the politicization of sports, and called on the world to enjoy the Winter Olympics. This once again demonstrates the all-weather strategic partnership and "iron core" brotherhood between China and Pakistan. We highly appreciate this. The preparation of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games has entered the stage of "line pressing sprint". Many national dignitaries, athletes and people from all walks of life, as well as international organizations such as the International Olympic Committee, have expressed their support and expectations for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. China is confident to work with all parties to practice the Olympic spirit of "more unity" and present a simple, safe and wonderful Olympic event for the world. Bloomberg: the Washington Post and other media reported that a member of the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee warned that foreign athletes participating in the Beijing Winter Olympic Games might be punished for making remarks in violation of Chinese laws. What's your comment on this? Zhao Lijian: as far as I know, the International Olympic Committee has issued a statement on the ban on political protest, requiring Olympic athletes not to protest by kneeling on one knee on the field or podium. I hope that individual media will not take it out of context, maliciously hype, attack and discredit China. I would like to reiterate that China welcomes athletes from all countries to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics and will ensure the safety and convenience of all athletes. We are confident to present a simple, safe and wonderful Olympic Games for the world. Agence France Presse: Slovenian prime minister announced that Slovenia is preparing to exchange representatives with Taiwan. What's your comment? Zhao Lijian: we have noticed relevant reports. Slovenian leaders openly made dangerous statements challenging the one China principle and supporting "Taiwan independence". We are deeply shocked and strongly opposed to this. I want to emphasize that there is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The People's Republic of China government is the only legitimate government representing China. The one China principle is a universally recognized norm in international relations and a general consensus of the international community. It is also the political basis for China Sri Lanka and China EU relations. China must and will be unified. No one should underestimate the strong determination, firm will and strong ability of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Today's Russian reporter: Sergei nareshkin, director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Agency, said yesterday that Russia has the information about the smear campaign carried out by the United States and its allies against the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. Does Russia share relevant information with China and does China agree with Russia's conclusion? Zhao Lijian: we have taken note of relevant reports. As director nareshkin said, the practice of undermining and smearing the Beijing Winter Olympic Games is detrimental to the interests of athletes of all countries and the International Olympic cause. It is completely contrary to the Olympic spirit and does not conform to the mainstream public opinion of the international community. This approach is not only very narrow, but also completely wrong. It is doomed to be unpopular and will not succeed. At present, the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games have entered the sprint stage. China is ready. We are confident that by hosting the Winter Olympics, we will inject more unity, confidence and positive energy into the international community. Bloomberg: the human rights organization "protection guard" released a report saying that China used kidnapping
