China will never accept the “baseless accusations” leveled against it on the current NATO high-level meeting, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said during a telephone conversation with his Dutch counterpart Caspar Veldkamp, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
Van said, quoted by the Foreign Ministry in Beijing, that China is ready to maintain contacts with NATO “on an equal footing” and conduct exchanges based on mutual respect, asking the military alliance not to interfere in its internal affairs.
At the same time, a spokesman for the Chinese mission to the European Union said that the final declaration during the NATO summit in Washington was full of "belligerent rhetoric" and its China-related content contained provocations, "lies, incitements and slanders".
The document from Washington says that China has become a decisive factor in Russia's military efforts in Ukraine and Beijing continues to pose systemic challenges to Europe and security.
„As we all know, China is not the creator of the crisis in Ukraine”, the spokesman said.
