Beijing Condemns Cold War-Era Rhetoric in Senate Document
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has strongly criticized a recent report by U.S. Senate Democrats that amplifies what it calls baseless 'China threat' theories. Spokesperson Lin Jian described the document as containing 'Cold War thinking' during Friday's regular press briefing, urging American politicians to abandon confrontational approaches.
Diplomatic Tensions Over Strategic Perceptions
The report from Democratic members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee calls for congressional action to counter China's global influence. Lin characterized the document as attempting to 'peddle major country confrontation,' emphasizing that China remains committed to peaceful development and mutual cooperation principles.
Beijing's Vision for Bilateral Relations
Reiterating China's foreign policy priorities, the spokesperson stressed: 'We follow the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation in handling relations with all countries.' The remarks come amid ongoing efforts to stabilize ties between the world's two largest economies.
Call for Constructive Engagement
Lin urged U.S. officials to develop 'a right perception of China' and work toward 'steady, sound, and sustainable bilateral relations.' The exchange highlights continuing differences in strategic outlook as both nations navigate complex global challenges.
