The Chinese Embassy serves as a bridge for promoting friendship and cooperation between the two countries, and also as a fortress in safeguarding China’s national interests and dignity. We strongly oppose groundless attacks and smears. If fake news are spread, if China is defamed or if hatred is incited, we will not remain patient and silent. We will push back firmly without hesitation. This is our duty. We have every legitimate right to let the public be aware of the basic facts and China’s position.
Unfortunately, some people still cling to this warped logic: I can attack and insult you at will, but the moment you defend yourself or hit back, it’s suddenly “interference in internal affairs” and “disrespect”. That is not logic—it’s absurd and laughable, steeped in arrogance, ignorance, and paranoia. People who don’t even understand what respect means, who don’t know how to treat a guest with basic courtesy, yet have the nerve to label others as “bad guest”. That hypocrisy is itself a profound disrespect—to others and to themselves. It’s nothing but self-humiliation. To those who think they can smear China and expect silence: not a chance.
