China urged on Thursday the US to stop making irresponsible comments and honor its commitments with concrete actions, following a recent media report about US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s remarks, state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.
“China is dissatisfied with the comments made by Secretary Blinken,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told a news briefing in Beijing.
“The US pursues a misconceived China policy which stems from a misguided China perception, seeks to block, contain and suppress China and has been attacking and smearing China’s image to interfere in China’s internal affairs,” said Mao.
According to the report, Blinken said in a recent interview that it is no secret that there are differences between the US and China.
He also said the US will continue to stand for its interests, stand up for its values and continue to do things and say things that China doesn’t like.
“I would like to stress again that mutual respect is the basic principle for countries dealing with each other and an essential ingredient for China and the US to find the right way to get along,” the spokeswoman added.
