Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Non cooperation is the biggest risk in the world today. Cooperation | Risk | Spokesperson
Beijing, July 13 (Xinhua) - Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wang Wenbin, stated at a regular press conference on July 13 that in today's world, non cooperation is the greatest risk, non development is the greatest insecurity, and non unity is the greatest challenge. The practice of "de sinicization" under the name of "risk reduction" itself is creating and spreading risks, and no one can benefit from it.
At the regular press conference that day, a reporter asked: Recently, some officials from the United States and Europe have proposed to "take risks" with China. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?
Wang Wenbin said that when discussing "risk reduction", the first step should be to clarify what the risk is and where the source is.
He said that China has played an important role in responding to the Asian financial crisis and the international financial crisis. It has put forward the "the Belt and Road" initiative, the global development initiative, the global security initiative, and the global civilization initiative, promoted the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and is committed to promoting the solution of international and regional hot issues. It is a well deserved strength of stability, a source of certainty, and a predictable factor in a century of change. "China is an opportunity, not a risk. Treating China as a source of risk is completely a mistake."
"In today's world, lack of cooperation is the greatest risk, lack of development is the greatest insecurity, and lack of unity is the greatest challenge." Wang Wenbin said that what countries should jointly guard against are the risks of political camp confrontation and instigation of the "new cold war", economic "decoupling and chain breaking" and building "small courtyards and high walls", military interference and aggression, expanding armed alliances, diplomatic internal and external treatment, and external crisis transfer, as well as the risks of inciting division and advocating confrontation in public opinion. China is not the source of these risks, but rather a steadfast force in preventing and resolving them. The practice of "de sinicization" under the name of "risk reduction" is actually about removing opportunities, stabilizing, and developing. It is itself creating and spreading risks, and no one can benefit from it.
Wang Wenbin stated that in recent times, executives from multiple multinational corporations have visited China intensively to support cooperation with China through practical actions. "We are willing to strengthen dialogue and cooperation with sincere parties, jointly prevent and resolve real risks, and inject positive energy into world peace and security, global development and prosperity."
