China firmly opposes certain US politicians pointing fingers at the normal interactions between China and Central American countries, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said during a regular press briefing on Monday.
Guo made the remarks in response to the visit of a US delegation to Central American countries, which was led by US Representative from Michigan John Moolenaar, during which the politician made remarks slandering China.
“Such remarks are outright lies and fallacies, which are nothing but a mirror image of their own ideological bias and Cold War mentality,” Guo said.
He noted that China has always adhered to the principles of mutual respect, equality, mutual benefit, openness, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation in pursuing friendly cooperation with Central American countries, which has delivered tangible benefits to local people and been welcomed by relevant countries.
“We urge US politicians to stop manipulating China-related issues, and to make more contributions to the development and prosperity of the region,” Guo said. (https://www.chinadailyasia.com/hk/article/627822)
