China’s response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s remarks
Pars Today – In response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims of a “conspiracy” involving China, Russia, and North Korea, a spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that Beijing’s expanding cooperation with other countries poses no threat to any third country and is aimed solely at enhancing international relations.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent comments alleging a “conspiracy” among China, Russia, and North Korea during Beijing’s military parade drew a rapid and direct response from Beijing.
Trump expressed concern over the growing closeness of the leaders of China, Russia, and North Korea, claiming to them: “You are conspiring against the United States.” He added: “While plotting against America, please convey my warmest regards to Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un.”
In this regard, Guo Jiakun, spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, rejected these allegations, stating that China’s expanding cooperation with other countries poses no threat to any third country, and that China has never sought to target other nations in the development of its diplomatic relations.
Meanwhile, Yuri Ushakov, Russian presidential aide for foreign policy, also dismissed these claims as baseless, emphasizing that the leaders of China, Russia, and North Korea did not plan any conspiracy during the Beijing ceremony, nor was such a notion in their minds.
According to Pars Today, citing IRNA, the September 3 military parade at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, held to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, not only showcased China’s military strength but was also attended by leaders from various countries, including Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un.
At this event, China displayed for the first time its DF-5S intercontinental strategic missile and its land, sea, and air nuclear triad, a move that has raised concerns in Washington.
However, official responses from Beijing and Moscow stress that these collaborations are defensive and cooperative in nature, aiming to enhance international stability, not to threaten or attack other countries.
