Chinese Official Says US ‘Wages War’ While China ‘Does Everything Else’

Chinese Official Says US ‘Wages War’ While China ‘Does Everything Else’

 


A Chinese diplomat slammed America, saying the US is “making war” while China is “doing everything else”.

The comments were made by Zhang Meifang, China’s consul general in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

She also mocked a warship from Taiwan, which China considers a renegade province, which she called a “museum piece”.

On Twitter, Zhang posted a split photo with an armed soldier in the top half and boxes marked “Made in China” below.

She wrote, “#USA is waging war. #China is doing almost everything else. Who exactly is leading the world in the right direction?”

Minutes earlier, Zhang had posted a tweet mocking one of the Taiwanese ships. Tensions are high between the two countries after a controversial visit by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

She posted two photos of the Taiwanese frigate ROCS Lan Yang and compared it unfavorably to those used by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China.

Zhang added, “This is the #Taiwan warship under #PLA’s nose – a museum piece.

“Yet someone plans to achieve ‘Taiwan independence’ with this!”

The ROCS Lan Yang is a former American Knox-class frigate, transferred to Chinese service.

Originally built between 1965 and 1974, they were retired from the United States Navy in 1994.

Pelosi arrived in Taiwan on Tuesday evening, the highest visit from the United States in 25 years.

The move infuriated Beijing, which responded by announcing four days of live-fire exercises around the island in six areas, several of which straddled Taiwanese territorial waters.

Taipei said the move amounted to a de facto blockade, with its military warning that they were “preparing for war without seeking war”.

On Saturday, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said Chinese warships and aircraft taking part in drills appeared to be simulating an attack on their island.

In a statement, it said: “Several batches of Chinese communist aircraft and ships carrying out activities around the Taiwan Strait, some of which crossed the median line.”

The median line is the unofficial maritime border between China and Taiwan, and a frequent point of tension.

Speaking to the BBC on Friday, Joseph Wu, Taiwan’s foreign minister, defended Pelosi’s “hugely significant” visit.

He added, “Taiwan has no jurisdiction over mainland China and the People’s Republic of China has no jurisdiction over Taiwan. It is reality.

A joint statement criticizing the Chinese military maneuvers was issued by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, along with his Japanese and Australian counterparts.

The three diplomats “expressed concern over recent actions by the People’s Republic of China that seriously affect international peace and stability, including the use of large-scale military exercises.”

Speaking in June, Admiral Philip Davidson, former commander of US forces in the Pacific, warned that China must be prevented from “dictating the terms” of the future of the Asia-Pacific region.

Newsweek has contacted the White House and the foreign ministries of China and Taiwan for comment.
