This morning (September 29), the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee held a series of theme press conferences on “This Decade of China”. In response to a question about whether China's diplomacy will continue to persist in the struggle, Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu said that safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests is the sacred mission of China's diplomacy, and we will never sit idly by and watch national interests suffer.

Ma Zhaoxu pointed out that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, with firmer will, more solid actions and more powerful measures, we have built a strong defense line to defend national interests and national dignity, and firmly grasp the initiative of national development and security in our own hands.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Ma Zhaoxu: We have clearly defended the one-China principle, achieved the establishment of diplomatic relations with nine countries, resolutely fought back against provocative actions on the Taiwan issue, and consolidated the consensus of one-China in the international community. Effectively stop external forces from interfering in Hong Kong affairs and consolidate the good situation of Hong Kong from chaos to governance. Use the truth to expose the lies about Xinjiang and thwart the political plot of "using Xinjiang to control China".

We have thwarted anti-China human rights actions for seven consecutive times in United Nations Human Rights Council and the Third UN General Assembly Committee. We carry out diplomatic struggles target words and deeds that harm China's national interests and national dignity, safeguard our own legitimate rights and interests, oppose hegemony and bullying, and uphold international fairness and justice. We use our actions to tell the world that the era of the Chinese nation being slaughtered is long gone, and no force can stop China's development and progress. We have the confidence to take the initiative to fight, not fear the backbone of power, and the ambition to maintain justice. The Chinese nation cannot be scared or crushed, not afraid of ghosts or believe in evil. We will never sit idly by and watch national interests be damaged, and no one should expect China to swallow the bitter fruit that damages its own interests.
