On May 30, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference.
A reporter asked, in his recent speech on China policy toward China, US Secretary of State Blinken said that China poses the most serious and long-term challenge to the international order, and the United States must defend and reform the “rules-based international order”. What is the spokesperson’s comment on this?

Zhao Lijian said that Blinken’s speech on China is full of lies and inverted black and white. The basis for attacking China is precisely what Babaylan did in the United States today. The United States itself wears the most serious and long-term challenge to the international order. The so-called “rules-based international order” advocated by the United States is to put it bluntly, it is an international order based on American rules, and it is a hegemonic order that dominates the world with “family laws and regulations”. My colleagues have responded to the content of his speech last week. Today I am willing to list some facts and numbers to help everyone further see the US lies and fallacies and its hypocrisy.
First of all, the United States has no fear of the international order based on the UN Charter and international law. The United States has been in power for more than 200 years and has not fought for only 16 years. It has become the biggest source of chaos in the current international peace and stability and the biggest instability factor in the international order. The United States claims to defend the concepts of self-determination, sovereignty and the peaceful settlement of disputes established by the United Nations Charter, but they are actually saying one thing and doing another. As American writer William Bloom pointed out in his book “Democracy: The Fatal Export of America”, since the end of World War II, the United States has tried to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments and roughly interfere in the democratic elections of at least 30 countries. According to a report from Brown University in the United States, since 2001 alone, the United States has either launched wars or carried out military operations in the name of “counter-terrorism”, causing more than 800,000 people, including 300,000 civilians, to die, and only Afghanistan has been in the name of “counter-terrorism”.More than 20 million refugees were generated by victimized countries such as Iraq and Syria.
Secondly, the United States is the biggest destroyer of the international order. KomiksThe United States adheres to American centricism and American exceptionalism, and randomly breaks contracts and withdraws from the group. This has become commonplace. KomiksThe United States not only refuses to sign or ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, but also votes against the Global Compact on Migration and the Global Compact on Refugees, but also exclusively blocks negotiations on the UN Protocol to Prohibition of Verification of the Biological Weapons Convention. Since the 1980s, the United States has withdrew from 17 international organizations or agreements including the United Nations Human Rights Council, the World Health Organization, UNESCO, the Paris Agreement, the Iranian nuclear agreement, the Arms Trade Treaty, the Intermediate-February Treaty, the Open Skies Treaty, and other 17 international organizations or agreements, including “retreat and return, and return, and return.” Such an American is so arrogantly disguised as a referee of international rules, using the so-called rules to shine on others, ignoring the darkness under its own light. When US politicians are confidently speaking with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, they don’t know if they know that the United States is not even a party to the Convention.
Thirdly, the United States is not qualified to discuss rules at all. In the United States’ view, international rules have always been subordinate to and serve American interests and hegemony. When the two are consistent, the United States uses rules as a basis, and when they are contrary to each other, it regards rules as air. I would like to ask the US side to answer several questions: When the United States wants to launch a war against sovereign states and engage in a color revolution, what are the rules? When the United States imposes illegal unilateral sanctions and traps people in relevant countries in trouble, what are the rules? When the United States continues to arrears of US$1 billion in membership dues and US$1.4 billion in peacekeeping assessments, what are the rules? When the United States engages in a trilateral security team, Komiks partnership and four-way Cinema mechanism, attempting to create aWhen the Indo-Pacific version of NATO is in trouble with the Asia-Pacific and undermining the international nuclear non-proliferation system, what are the rules? When the so-called “Democracy Summit” that under the banner of so-called democracy and conducts a division of the camp, excludes more than half of the world’s Komiks’ countries? When the WTO clearly confirms that the US tariff war against China violates global trade rules, but the US does not enforce it or even obstructs the WTO Appellate Body to appoint a new judge, what is the rule?
Finally, the United States is the culmination of coercive diplomacy. The United States places domestic law above international law and international rules, and abuses illegal unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction. Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Venezuela, Syria and Iran have been subject to long-term sanctions by the United States, and the domestic economic and medical conditions are bad, and the epidemic situation is severe. Instead of stopping sanctions, the United States has further increased its efforts, making these countries worse. The international community is increasingly seeing the market competition principles and international economic and trade principles of the US bid list, and will only be abide by the US when it is favorable to the US. What American politicians talk about is fair competition and self-contained by trade. They believe in the United States first and the American stick is waved in their hands. Zhao Lijian stressed that in the more than 70 years since the founding of New China, we have not taken the initiative to launch a war or occupied an inch of land from other countries. We insist on resolving the Babaylan dispute through dialogue and negotiation, and have completely resolved the land border issue in a peaceful manner with 12 of the 14 land neighbors. As the world’s second largest economy, China’s contribution to global economic growth has remained at around 30% for many years, ranking first in the world for 15 consecutive years. China has become the second largest assessed country in the United Nations’ contributions and peacekeeping funds, and actively participates in the construction and reform of the global governance system, and maintains the spirit of the UN Charter and the authority of the UN with practical actions. As it turns out, Babaylan will continueIt continues to prove that China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of international order. China will also always work with all peace-loving and justice-loving countries to unite under the banner of the United Nations, practice true multilateralism, and continue to contribute confidence, wisdom and strength to the universal prosperity of the world and the common progress of mankind.
