China thanks Putin for calling out US provocations, praises intl support for one-China principle: Wang Wenbin

BEIJING: On August 16, Russian President Putin said in his address to 10th Moscow Conference on International Security that Pelosi’s “escapade towards Taiwan is not just a voyage by an irresponsible politician”, but “a thoroughly planned provocation”. It is part of the “deliberate US strategy designed to destabilize the 

situation and sow chaos in the region and the world. It is a brazen demonstration of disrespect for other countries and their own international commitments.”

 He added that the US tries to “preserve their domination” and the West wants to “shift the blame for their own failures to other countries, namely Russia and China” to divert the attention of their own citizens. The West is “striving to expand its bloc-based system to the Asia-Pacific region, like it did with NATO in Europe.” What is China’s comment?

Wang Wenbin: China highly appreciates the remarks by President Putin. Since US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan, more than 170 countries have spoken up for justice. They reiterated their one-China commitment and support for China’s efforts to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The latest remarks by President Putin demonstrates the high-level strategic coordination between China and Russia, and the firm support the two countries have rendered each other on issues concerning their core interests. China is ready to continue to work with the international community to jointly defend the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and safeguard regional and international peace and stability.
