China's Foreign Ministry Answers G7 Statement on Taiwan: Mind Your Own Business and Fulfil Your Own Responsibilities
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning answered questions on the Group of Seven (G7) statement's Taiwan-related content at the regular press conference on November 12. This story is filed on November 13; the remarks were made on November 12.
A Reuters journalist asked about the statement issued after the G7 meeting, which said China's increasingly assertive actions in the waters east of Taiwan had raised concerns, and asked for China's comment.
Mao Ning said China had noted the joint statement. China's position on Taiwan and other issues is consistent, clear, justified, reasonable and aboveboard. The statement, she said, disregards objective facts and China's positive contributions to world peace, stability and development, grossly interferes in China's internal affairs and maliciously smears China. Its absurd wording once again proves, she said, that the G7 is an ideological small circle clinging to a Cold War mentality and bloc politics, and that it cannot represent the international community at all.
Mao added that China advises the G7 to mind its own business, fulfil its own responsibilities, and play a more positive role in addressing today's pressing challenges and promoting international solidarity.
