China responds to the European Parliament’s report on EU-China political relations: Stop inciting confrontation and confrontation

China News Service, Brussels, October 9th: The Chinese Mission to the EU responded to the European Parliament’s release of a report on EU-China political relations on the 8th, urging the EU to earnestly respect China’s core interests and major concerns and stop inciting confrontation and confrontation.

A reporter asked: On October 7, the European Parliament released a report on EU-China political relations. What is China’s comment on this?

A spokesman for the Chinese Mission to the EU said that the relevant reports of the European Parliament are full of ideological prejudice and erroneous arguments against China, criticize China on Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, Xinjiang, Tibet, human rights and other issues, grossly interfere in China's internal affairs, and encourage the politicization and pan-security of economic and trade issues. China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this, and has lodged stern representations with the EU.

The spokesperson emphasized that currently, China-EU relations are in an important period of development, and maintaining the healthy and stable development of China-EU relations is in the common interest of both sides. China urges the EU to adhere to the positioning of partnership with China, adhere to the main tone of cooperation, earnestly respect China's core interests and major concerns, stop interfering in China's internal affairs, stop inciting confrontation and confrontation, and take practical actions to safeguard the overall situation of China-EU relations.
