Over the years, #China’s relationship with the #EU has withstood profound changes in the world. It has focused on dialogue, cooperation and mutual benefit, and demonstrated strong vitality by progressing with the times. 🇨🇳🇪🇺
It is important to stay committed to peaceful coexistence, open cooperation, #multilateralism, and dialogue and consultation. #China and the #EU are comprehensive strategic partners, not systemic rivals.
In 2020, #China became the #EU's largest trading partner for the first time. The two sides signed the agreement on #GeographicalIndications, decided to establish high-level dialogue mechanisms on #environment & #climate and on digital cooperation, and concluded #BIT negotiations.
#China and the #EU should continue working together to tackle global challenges, promote a #multipolar world, economic #globalization and greater #democracy in international relations, and inject more stability and certainty into the world.
China supports a bigger role of EU in international affairs. The multilateralism we advocate must be dedicated to unity and cooperation rather than group politics. It needs to transcend systemic difference rather than draw lines along ideology.
By working together in the spirit of mutual understanding, mutual accommodation and equal consultation, the two sides can open up broad prospects for #China-#EU cooperation.

Japan’s militarist past, marked by devastating wars of aggression and brutal crimes against humanity, brought untold suffering on this region and beyond.
Instead of drawing serious lessons from its past, Japan has displayed a dangerous tendency of rearming itself, with sharp rises in its annual defense spending for the 11th year running and constant readjustment of its defense policy aimed at military breakthrough.
To justify its aggressive military build-up, Japan has been falsely hyping up regional tensions. It is even seeking to bring NATO into the Asia-Pacific. All of this makes people wonder whether Japan is tearing itself away from post-war peaceful development.

美日联合声明操弄话术、混淆视听,渲染鼓噪中国“核威胁”,企图为自身军事力量松绑寻找借口。中方对此坚决反对,已提出严正交涉。
中国始终坚定奉行自卫防御的核战略,恪守任何时候、任何情况下不首先使用核武器,明确承诺无条件不对无核武器国家和无核武器区使用或威胁使用核武器。
中国是五个核武器国家中唯一作出上述承诺的国家。中国核力量始终维持在国家安全需要的最低水平。任何国家只要不对中国使用核武器,都不会受到中国核武器的威胁,这是最有实际意义的透明。
事实上,美、日两国在核裁军与核不扩散问题上的消极动向才真正值得国际社会高度警惕。
美国拥有世界上最庞大、最先进核武库,但仍投入上万亿美元升级“三位一体”核力量,发展低当量核武器,降低核武器使用门槛,并通过出售核潜艇、强化“核保护伞”等方式推动构建极具冷战色彩的“小圈子”。日本作为《不扩散核武器条约》的无核武器缔约国,理应切实履行核不扩散国际义务。

The US-Japan joint statement contains manipulated & misleading narratives aimed at justifying military build-up by propagating & hyping up the so-called “nuclear threat from China”. We firmly reject this.
China is firmly committed to a defensive nuclear strategy.
We have honored our pledge to “no first use” of nuclear weapons at any time and under any circumstances and unconditionally not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear weapon states or nuclear-weapon-free zones.
China is the only one among the five nuclear weapon states to have made these pledges. We have kept our nuclear capabilities at the minimum level required by national security. For any country, as long as they do not use nuclear weapons against China, they have nothing to worry

In respons to a paper prepared by the EU’s foreign service advising members to diversify supply chains away from China, FM spokesperson said the global industrial & supply chains, as they currently exist, are the result of the combined force of market & the choices of businesses.
Arbitrarily placing curbs for political purposes disrupts international cooperation and destabilizes industrial and supply chains. It is not conducive to the development of industries and serves no country’s interest.
China and the EU are partners, not rivals. Our economies are closely linked and highly complementary. Our cooperation far outweighs competition. As noted by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, Chinese goods have done much better

China’s complete reunification is a process that cannot be halted. National reunification is an essential step towards national rejuvenation. Peaceful cross-Strait reunification is of benefit not only to the Chinese nation, but to all peoples & the int'l community as a whole.
We call on the international community to have a right understanding of the Taiwan question, support China’s reunification, enhance commitment to the one-China principle and unequivocally reject “Taiwan independence”.
The root cause of the current tensions across the Taiwan Strait is that the DPP authorities have been attempting to solicit US support to seek independence & some forces in the US have been seeking to use the Taiwan question to contain China.

The one-China principle brooks no distortion or challenge. The connotation of the one-China principle is crystal-clear, i.e. there is only one #China in the world & #Taiwan is part of China. The Government of the #PRC is the sole legal government representing the whole of China.
The #one-China principle is a prevailing international consensus and widely accepted basic norm in international relations. It is affirmed in #UNGA Resolution 2758. It is the political foundation for interactions between #China and all countries in the world.
181 countries have established diplomatic relations with #China on the basis of #one-China principle. This fully shows that standing up for the one-China principle is the right thing to do. It has the overwhelming support of the int'l community & represents the trend of #world.
