The United States must stop trying, against the backdrop of the Ukrainian crisis, to spoil Russia-China relations with false statements, as well as to make allegations of rivalry between China and the United States, said the official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Zhao Lijian.
Washington is constantly spreading false information against the backdrop of the crisis in Ukraine, trying in many ways to tarnish the image of China, to split relations between China and Russia, he said at a briefing.
The goal pursued by the United States is to create contradictions, as well as friction, so that the United States can use them for their own selfish purposes. Washington needs to rethink its actions, he added.
According to the Chinese diplomat, the United States is directly responsible for inciting hostility in Ukraine. Zhao Lijian also reminded that China does not seek to position itself as a rival of the United States, since the well-being of Chinese citizens is the main task of national development.
