Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning’s Regular Press Conference 外交部發言人毛寧主持例行記者會 on March 1, 2024
CCTV: In a press statement, the Spokesperson of US Department of State said that the US is closely monitoring the implications of Hong Kong’s national security legislation under Article 23 of the Basic Law for US citizens, investments, and companies operating in Hong Kong and is concerned by the broad and vague definitions of “state secrets” and “external interference” and the extraterritorial reach of Article 23. He said that Article 23 risks compounding the 2020 National Security Law that has curtailed the rights and freedoms of people in Hong Kong and undermines the “One Country, Two Systems” framework. What’s the Ministry’s comment? 美國國務院發言人在新聞聲明中表示，美國正在密切關注《基本法》第二十三條規定的香港國家安全立法對在香港的美國公民、投資和公司的影響，並對此表示關切。 “國家機密」和「外部干涉」的寬泛而模糊的定義以及第23 條的域外影響。他表示，第23 條有可能加劇2020 年《國家安全法》，該法限制了香港人民的權利和自由，並破壞了香港的法治。 “一個國家，兩種制度”框架。 工信部對此有何評論？
Mao Ning: China strongly deplores and firmly opposes the US’s statement. 毛寧：中方對美方有關言論表示強烈不滿和堅決反對。
Completing the legislation on Article 23 of the Basic Law and plugging loopholes to safeguard national security is the constitutional responsibility of the government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and what must be done for the lasting stability and security in HKSAR and the sound implementation of One Country, Two Systems in the long run. The just concluded public consultation has shown that the Hong Kong society has reached a strong consensus to complete the legislation. 完成基本法第二十三條立法、阻塞維護國家安全漏洞，是香港特別行政區政府的憲制責任，也是香港特別行政區長治久安和良好實施的必須之舉從長遠來看，一國兩制。 剛結束的公眾諮詢表明，香港社會對完成立法已達成強烈共識。完成基本法第二十三條立法、阻塞維護國家安全漏洞，是香港特別行政區政府的憲制責任，也是香港特別行政區長治久安和良好實施的必須之舉從長遠來看，一國兩制。 剛結束的公眾諮詢表明，香港社會對完成立法已達成強烈共識。
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning’s Regular Press Conference on March 1, 2024
CCTV: In a press statement, the Spokesperson of US Department of State said that the US is closely monitoring the implications of Hong Kong’s national security legislation under Article 23 of the Basic Law for US citizens, investments, and companies operating in Hong Kong and is concerned by the broad and vague definitions of “state secrets” and “external interference” and the extraterritorial reach of Article 23. He said that Article 23 risks compounding the 2020 National Security Law that has curtailed the rights and freedoms of people in Hong Kong and undermines the “One Country, Two Systems” framework. What’s the Ministry’s comment?
Mao Ning: China strongly deplores and firmly opposes the US’s statement.
Completing the legislation on Article 23 of the Basic Law and plugging loopholes to safeguard national security is the constitutional responsibility of the government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and what must be done for the lasting stability and security in HKSAR and the sound implementation of One Country, Two Systems in the long run. The just concluded public consultation has shown that the Hong Kong society has reached a strong consensus to complete the legislation.
The legislation on Article 23 targets a handful of criminals gravely endangering our national security and protects in accordance with law the rights and freedoms which the residents of Hong Kong enjoy under the Basic Law and the provisions of relevant international covenants as applied to Hong Kong. Foreign citizens, investments, and companies operating in Hong Kong will also be protected in accordance with law. The extraterritorial effect of Article 23 is in strict compliance with international law and the common practices of all countries and regions. “State secrets” and “external interference” are defined with full consideration given to HKSAR’s realities and the common practices of all countries. The legislation is legitimate, lawful and beyond reproach.
The past three years since the Law of the PRC on Safeguarding National Security in the HKSAR was formulated and came into force is a period when Hong Kong has restored order and is set to thrive again, and when the international community cast a vote of confidence in Hong Kong’s prospects. After the Article 23 legislation is completed, Hong Kong’s high-quality development and high-standard opening up will be better guaranteed and Hong Kong residents and international investors will benefit from it.
The US has issued troves of laws safeguarding its own national security but thrown dirt on and labeled the legislation on Article 23 of the Basic Law. This is out-and-out political manipulation and hypocritical double standards. I want to stress again that Hong Kong is China’s Hong Kong and Hong Kong affairs are purely China’s internal affairs, which no country is in any position to point fingers at or interfere in. We urge the US to respect China’s sovereignty, observe the principles guiding international law and the basic norms governing international relations, and immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs which are China’s internal affairs.
Anadolu Agency: Israeli forces opened fire to a crowd of Palestinian civilians who were waiting for emergency food aid in Gaza City, northern Gaza, killing 112 people and wounding over 760 others. What is China’s comment about the incident?
Mao Ning: China is shocked by and strongly condemns the incident. We mourn for the victims and extend sympathies to the injured. China urges parties concerned, especially Israel, to stop fighting at once, earnestly protect civilians and ensure access for humanitarian assistance to prevent an even worse humanitarian disaster from happening.
Reuters: It’s reported that the US government plans to investigate Chinese-made electrical vehicles to make sure that the vehicles have no data security loophole. What’s China’s comment on the US’ investigation?
Mao Ning: I shared China’s principled position yesterday on the protection of data privacy and security. I would like to stress that Chinese-made cars are popular globally not by using so-called “unfair practices”, but by emerging from the fierce market competition with technological innovation and superb quality. China’s door has been open to global auto companies, including US auto companies who fully shared in the dividends of China’s big market. By contrast, the US has engaged in trade protectionism and set up obstacles including discriminatory subsidy policies to obstruct access to the US market by Chinese-made cars. Such acts of politicizing economic and trade issues will only hinder the development of the US auto industry itself. China urges the US to respect the laws of market economy and the principles of fair competition, stop overstretching the concept of national security, stop its discriminatory suppression against Chinese companies, and uphold an open, fair and non-discriminatory business environment.
Anadolu Agency: It’s been reported that the US has blocked a Security Council statement about killing of civilians who were waiting for aid in Gaza. What was China’s position during those deliberations and what do you think about the US blocking UNSC to execute its main responsibility concerning situation in Gaza?
Mao Ning: Gaza is suffering from unprecedented humanitarian disaster and the Security Council must adopt actions as soon as possible to realize a ceasefire. Relevant major countries need to truly uphold a just and responsible attitude, and earnestly play a constructive role for an immediate ceasefire. China will continue to work with all sides in the international community to galvanize responsible and meaningful Security Council action and make relentless efforts to work for an early ceasefire in Gaza, ease the humanitarian situation there, implement the two-State solution and realize lasting peace and security in the Middle East.
AFP: There was an incident recently in Chengdu involving some journalists from the Netherlands who faced some obstruction from local individuals claiming to be police officers during their report activities. The Foreign Correspondents’ Club of China has issued a statement today, saying it’s extremely disturbed. Does the Foreign Ministry have any comments either on this recent incident in Chengdu involving the Dutch journalists or response to today’s statement?
Mao Ning: I’m not aware of the specific information. More broadly, let me say that China protects the lawful rights and interests of permanent offices of foreign media organizations and foreign journalists in accordance with the law, and facilitates their news coverage and reporting activities carried out in accordance with the law. Foreign journalists working in China also need to abide by Chinese laws and regulations.
RIA Novosti: Russian President Putin said yesterday that the dangerous moves and statements of the West on foreign policy threaten a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons and the destruction of civilization. What’s the Foreign Ministry’s comment?
Mao Ning: In January 2022, leaders of the five nuclear-weapon states issued a joint statement, affirming that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. China believes that all nuclear weapon states need to embrace the idea of common security and uphold global strategic balance and stability. Under the current circumstances, parties need to jointly seek de-escalation and lower strategic risks.
China calls on relevant parties to remain calm, exercise restraint and build a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture through dialogue and consultation.
Check how many national security laws the US and UK have enacted. Isn’t it double standard to build a tight national security system for themselves while denying others the right to fix their national security gaps? 查看美國和英國頒布了多少部國家安全法。 為自己建立嚴密的國家安全體系，卻剝奪他人彌補國家安全漏洞的權利，這不是雙重標準嗎？
Zionist Israel & the U.S. Are Abusing & Traumatizing the Entire World but Want You To Worry About China Rising in Peace 猶太復國主義以色列和美國正在虐待和傷害整個世界，但希望你擔心中國的和平崛起 by MARIO CAVOLO MAR 1 2024
There are so many of us who insist on and are willing to stand up with our voices to stand up for what is right. The monsters running the world keep trying to tell you, . “We’re the good guys, we’re the good guys and China’s evil, China’s the biggest threat.”
Yet, they’re the ones slaughtering innocent civilians all over the world while China isn’t killing anyone and hasn’t been for decades. We the people of the world who care, who have a conscience rooted in the moral center, are being emotionally brutalized, traumatized & abused by our political leaders.
Lets take an example, Imagine a psychotic megalomaniac gathering up a crowd of citizens and saying “Sit down here and watch us day after slaughter the children of some bad guys we’ve identified over there. That’s how we’re going to stop them because they’re bad guys. You just sit right here and watch and by the way, you’re free to talk about it all you want, protest, jump up & down, we don’t care. But you must watch and in fact every day we’re going to use our media to put it in the headlines in front of you so that you have to watch.”
Then what happens? Being good people of conscience because you can’t take it anymore, you finally jump up and run across to stop them from slaughtering any more children but your body runs into a thick glass wall, you’re stuck on the otherside, powerless to do anything at all except continue to watch it.
This is your master, your government leaders, abusing & slaughtering the world, abusing the victims by inflicting slaughter on them and abusing you by inflicting emotional trauma watching it helplessly. I’ve said this a few months back and people continue to shy away from it. We are all being traumatized by what’s going on and yet once again they will continue doing it until we finally keep quiet and resign into acceptance, it gets normalized because we know we are helpless.
This creates an enormous emotional gaping wound in the soul of the earth. The entire time, they refuse to stop, they refuse to apologize, these wars, these slaughters they have been doing for decades, and they continue saying, “No no, you’ve got it wrong, we are the good guys”. Some people have the coping skills to adjust in a way that doesn’t destroy your own life, that’s the key message, but many don’t.
This past week one U.S. soldier felt so emotionally devastated & traumatized by it all, he lit himself on fire in an act of final protest, ending his life. Many people cope in less bad ways by drinking too much, by turning to drugs, by arguing & shouting to release the frustration, thankfully most of us are able to turn to prayer, meditation, exercise, reading inspirational literature, talking deeply with friends, as more healthy ways to deal with living in a world where this misery & suffering exists and is in front of us. Our govt is forcing it on us. Why?
Unfortunately, the very govt we are supposed to count on to help the overall society cope with such events, they are the problem and making it worse. A world where the politicians themselves are dividing you, using political correctness is the tool of tyranny, using ideaology to bully you, to distort reality, to abuse the principles of truth & freedom. Your evil enemy is not China. Its Zionist Israel, Zionist America even Zionist Christians…a world where even if you say you’re anti-war because you’re offending by the slaughter of children, you’re a Jew hater, an anti semite, a racist.
Here’s an example, I asked this question months earlier, if a gang of 10 evil men killed your brother and want to kill you & your family and they are hiding out in a big building with 1000 other people who work there, do you ask the police to bomb the whole building to kill them along with everyone else? Of course not.
Yet, this is what the good guys of Zionist Israel & the American govt want you to think is the right & moral road, and that if you don’t support it, you are an anti semite, a racists. Do I have to say this is nonsense? It is worse than propaganda, it is mental abuse. We are all being abused & manipulated. Even Jews themselves who are so deeply offended by the politics and the bloodshed the state of Zionist Israel is forcing everyone else to witness.
The Zionist movement and agenda has corrupted everything Jewish and traumatized the world and AIPAC lobby has bought our politicians to keep quiet. Even the Christians are fooled. If you are a true Christian you follow the teaching of lovely man named Jesus who preached virtues, like kindness, healing, sacrifice, redemption. Do you remember the Thirty Years War in 1618?…that was Catholics & Protestants killing each other in war resulting in widespread destruction & the death of millions. Do you remember the Spanish Inquisition King Ferdinand & Queen Isabella persecuted Jews, Muslims, Protestants. Are you kidding me? This is horrifying history in the name of faith & the Bible & Zionist Israel & the United States are leading it and Christian Zionists support it?
But instead of this, yesterday we have to tolerate another anti China Tucker Carlson interview, with some author lady warning us of the ominous evils of communist China, China is the worry! I live here with my Chinese family, this year is my 25 year anniversary living her, it’s a celebration not just because I live with my lovely Chinese family in a remarkable transforming country, but because that country named China has risen up and develop across the world in peace, no wars, no attacks, no bombs, not on any other nation. They have not started one single war since their founding in 1949.
But Tucker Carlson wants you to worry about China, and the U.S. govt is provoking for more war with China, selling more weapons to Taiwan, everyone is talking about it, even though I don’t personally believe it will happen. So here’s the reality, they want you to believe they’re the good guys, that China is the bad guy, they are gaslighting you with propaganda and worst of all the main message of today’s video, they want you upset, they want you emotionally traumatized so you can’t think straight.
The Chinese government’s focus is to keep the whole of society safe & stable so that everyone in it feels safe & stable. That includes dads, moms, elderly grandparents & children, who are then free to go about the business of experiencing & enjoying their lives in a safe society. I live here and I know that’s exactly what we have.
On the other hand, what by their actions & choices is the United States govt’s focus? Is it to keep your society safe & stable for you? Or is to keep you feeling endlessly abused & traumatized?
Please take this as a warning and personally take responsibility that you must protect yourself & your loved ones from these dark, malign influences that can feel overwhelming and only serve to hurt you, to destroy the goodness in your life.
Be vigilant to guard your door, your home, to protect yourself & your loved ones. Understand what’s really going on in today’s world and don’t be fooled.

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning’s Regular Press Conference on February 29, 2024
Shenzhen TV: It’s reported that in a statement released on February 28, the UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron said that Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government’s legislative proposals on Article 23 of the Basic Law do not uphold the obligations of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, which will have a negative impact on the people of Hong Kong in the exercise of their rights and freedoms and a risk that the work of international organizations in Hong Kong could be labeled as “foreign interference”. The UK strongly urged the HKSAR government to re-consider their proposals and will monitor development of this legislation closely. What’s the Ministry’s comment?
Mao Ning: The UK’s statement is a gross interference in China’s internal affairs and Hong Kong affairs, which lays bare again its deeply entrenched colonial mindset and mentality as a “lecturer”. China firmly opposes it.
The UK’s “concerns” have no ground. First, the Sino-British Joint Declaration by no means put the UK in a position or gave it any right to interfere in Hong Kong affairs. Second, one of the principles that guide the legislation on Article 23 of the Basic Law is to respect and protect human rights, and protect in accordance with the law the rights and freedoms which the residents of Hong Kong enjoy under the Basic Law and the provisions of relevant international covenants as applied to Hong Kong. Third, there is a clear line drawn between acts that constitute an offence that endangers national security, and normal commercial exchanges and activities in the fields of economy, culture and science and technology. The normal activities of foreign institutions and personnel in the HKSAR will continue to be protected in accordance with law. It’s worth pointing out that the UK’s National Security Act that came into force last year contains many provisions with vague definitions and grants law enforcement agencies sweeping power, which can be easily abused.
We urge the UK to find the right mindset, face squarely the fact that Hong Kong has already returned to China, stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs, reflect on its action, and end double standards.
Hubei Media Group: The latest data shows that the China-Europe Railway Express made over 85,000 trips in cumulative terms, effectively boosting the development of countries along the routes. What’s your comment?
Mao Ning: The China-Europe Railway Express is a flagship project and distinct brand of Belt and Road cooperation. After a decade of ground-breaking and innovative efforts, the China-Europe Railway Express has kept adding new lines and expanding its capacity, providing the Eurasian continent fresh corridors of land transport and new bridges for economic and trade cooperation. Over the past 10 years, along the routes of the China-Europe Railway Express, customs clearance and inspection has been streamlined, the business environment at ports of entry has been improved, and rules and regulations for cross-border transportation have become more standardized. Thanks to the China-Europe Railway Express, China enjoys closer cooperation and more robust trade ties with Central Asia and Europe. A large number of companies specializing in international trade, smart manufacturing, and supply chain service have established presence along the routes. Industries such as manufacturing, trade and commerce, finance and information have been constantly upgraded. More and more European products have entered the life of the Chinese people, while “Made in China” is becoming more popular in Europe.
President Xi Jinping announced at the Third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation that China will speed up high-quality development of the China-Europe Railway Express, which has been actively supported by countries along the routes. In 2024, we believe the China-Europe Railway Express will continue to run at full speed and inject new impetus into the development of the Eurasian continent.
Antara: The Qatari mediators propose Israel to pause its war on Hamas in Gaza during the upcoming Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. Will China also join Qatar’s proposal and put more effort to stop war during Ramadan?
Mao Ning: As the conflict drags on, the dire humanitarian situation continues to worsen in Gaza. The international community must act now and focus all efforts on bringing about a ceasefire and protecting civilians. China supports all diplomatic efforts conducive to deescalation and easing the humanitarian crisis. We call on all parties concerned to stop fighting immediately, do everything possible to prevent casualties among innocent civilians and prevent an even worse humanitarian catastrophe.
Bloomberg: We’ve seen reports that Wang Yi will head to Australia. Can you confirm this or do you have any details?
Mao Ning: With the concerted effort of China and Australia in recent years, the bilateral relationship has returned to the track of sound and steady growth. China values the growth of its relations with Australia and stands ready to work with Australia to deliver on the important common understandings between leaders of the two countries, enhance exchanges across the board and at various levels, cement mutual trust, promote cooperation, handle differences properly and advance the China-Australia comprehensive strategic partnership. On your specific question, I have nothing to offer at the moment.
TASS: Starting from March 2, Special Representative of the Chinese Government on Eurasian Affairs Li Hui will visit Russia, the EU headquarters, Poland, Ukraine, Germany and France. What are the important plan and arrangement of Li Hui’s trip to Russia?
Mao Ning: The protraction of the Ukraine crisis does not serve the common interest of the international community. The main objective of the upcoming round of shuttle diplomacy is to build consensus for ceasefire and pave the way for peace talks. China stands ready to continue to play its role and contribute China’s wisdom to seeking a political settlement of the Ukraine crisis.
Bloomberg: President Xi Jinping told Sierra Leone’s President on a visit to Beijing that the two nations should boost their coordination in the UN Security Council and jointly secure the interests of Africa and developing countries. This appears to be China’s latest effort to be seen as a leader of Global South nations. Would the Ministry like to provide details on how China plans to protect the interests of Africa and developing nations in this leadership role?
Mao Ning: As a developing country, China, a natural member of the Global South, has invariably stood in solidarity with fellow developing countries through thick and thin and firmly upheld the common interests of developing countries. President Xi Jinping has put forth important strategic guidelines and policies to consolidate and deepen our relations with fellow developing countries. We follow the principle of sincerity, real results, amity and good faith and the principle of pursuing the greater good and shared interests, and firmly uphold sovereignty, independence, the principle of non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, and the legitimate rights and development opportunities of developing countries. We call for an equal and orderly multipolar world to make the international order more just and equitable and to raise the representation and say of developing countries. We call for a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization to share opportunities with other developing countries for common development. China will always stand together with developing countries, work toward building a community with a shared future for mankind, advance together the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative, pursue high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, apply the common values of humanity and work for a peaceful, safer and prosperous world with a bright future.
Dragon TV: According to reports, the Japanese government protested against the ROK court’s ruling which orders a Japanese company to compensate victims of forced recruitment of laborers during World War II. The Japanese Foreign Minister expressed strong regret to the ROK Foreign Minister on the sidelines of the G20 Foreign Ministers’ meeting. There are media comments saying that despite the improvement of ROK-Japan relations in the past two years, the Japanese side still maintains its erroneous attitude toward historical issues and even becomes more arrogant. What’s China’s comment?
Mao Ning: Forced recruitment and enslavement of laborers is a grave crime against humanitarian law committed by the Japanese militarism during its aggression and colonial rule against the people of Asian nations, including those of China and the ROK. The facts are backed by ironclad evidence and shall not be denied or altered. China has long asked the Japanese government to properly handle relevant issues left over from history with an honest and responsible attitude. Japan needs to face squarely and reflect on that part of history, and show remorse for its historical crimes and respect for the victims through concrete actions. Japan also needs to shape a correct view of history among the younger generation. Only by doing so can Japan truly earn the trust of its Asian neighbors and the wider international community.
PTI: Foreign Minister Mr. Wang Yi yesterday met the UN officials in charge of reforms, especially the UN Security Council reforms. There was a readout issued by the Ministry. I just would like to ask you have there been any concrete proposals put forward by China with regard to the reforms, especially of the UN Security Council. And also, several emerging economies, including India, have criticized China, holding it responsible for blocking the reforms in the UN Security Council. Can you please react to this?
Mao Ning: The reform of the Security Council is an integral part of the reform of the UN as a whole. China supports necessary reform of the Security Council so that it can better fulfill its important responsibilities of maintaining international peace and security and better respond to major global challenges in today’s world. We believe that the reform of the Security Council should effectively increase the representation and say of developing countries and give more small and medium-sized countries the opportunity to participate in the decision-making of the organization. Upholding solidarity and cooperation of the international community should be a priority and member states need to seek the broadest possible consensus for a package solution through serious and thorough consultations. The reform should benefit all member states, rather than serving the selfish interests of a few.
Bloomberg: President Joe Biden signed an executive order designed to prevent foreign entities from giving to troves of American personal data. This is amid worries that it could be exploited for commercial and military advantage, particularly by China and Russia. Does the Foreign Ministry have a comment on this?
Mao Ning: The US overstretches the concept of national security, falsely accuses China of purchasing American’s personal and sensitive data for malicious activities, and prevents the transfer of data to so-called “countries of concern” including China. These are discriminatory practices clearly targeted at certain countries. China firmly rejects these measures. The Chinese government takes data privacy and security very seriously. We have never asked and will never ask any company or individual to collect or provide data, information or intelligence located abroad against local laws. We put forward the Global Initiative on Data Security. If the US truly cares about data security, it can publicly endorse this initiative or make similar commitments. We urge the US to stop smearing and discrediting China, effectively safeguard a fair, open and non-discriminatory business environment, and work with others to formulate universal data security rules to enable orderly and free data flows around the world.
Bloomberg: Australia and the Philippines have signed an agreement to boost collaboration on maritime security, including promoting respect for international law as they put it. This is the latest sign of their deepening defense ties. Do you have a response to this?
Mao Ning: The South China Sea is generally stable. Relevant countries’ maritime security cooperation should not undermine other countries’ interests or disrupt regional peace and stability.
PTI: One thing that you mentioned was that the system should not serve the selfish interests of a few countries. This is precisely where the criticism is about the Permanent Five. The entire system is geared up to serve the interests of these Permanent Five while the rest of the countries are left to defend for themselves.
Mao Ning: The UN is the broadest-based organization in the world and is therefore able to represent all countries in the world. I don’t think that the Security Council only represents the interests of the permanent members but there’s a need for necessary reform of the Security Council, so that developing countries and medium and small-sized countries can have more opportunities to take part in the decision-making of the Council. As for how the reform should be carried out specifically, this will require serious and full consultation among UN members and accommodation of the concerns of all countries so that all members will benefit from the reform.
The German frigate Hessen, which was deployed to the Red Sea as part of an EU mission, mistakenly fired on an American drone earlier this week, German missed but US did not missed blowing up the Russian Gas Pipeline, the German Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.
