Beijing says the US is ‘sick’, needs ‘medicine’ after G7, NATO​

JUNE 16, 2021

Beijing has said the United States is “sick” and in need of “medicine” after China was the subject of unprecedented criticism at the G7 and Nato.
The strident reaction from China’s foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian underlined Beijing’s extreme sensitivity to the Biden administration’s coordination of allies and partners.

Mr Zhao said the criticisms of China revealed “the bad intentions of the US and a few other countries” that were trying to create confrontation and widen differences.

“The United States is sick. The G7 should feel its pulse and prescribe medicine for it,” he said at a press conference in Beijing.

Xi Jinping’s administration has launched a sweeping sneer campaign on America, Europe and their allies and partners including Australia after China was criticised at the G7 and NATO.

In Beijing, Brussels and Britain, Xi’s regime has scoffed at the rich world’s criticism and made veiled threats at retaliation.

“We will not pose a ‘systemic challenge’ to anyone, but if anyone wants to pose a ‘systemic challenge’ to us, we will not remain indifferent,” said a spokesperson of the Chinese mission to the European Union in Brussels.

That threat followed a meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which branded China as presenting “systemic challenges” for the first time in its more than 70 year history.

Concerns about China were central to the first meeting of NATO’s leaders since 2019, which followed a weekend meeting of the G7 in Cornwall, where Prime Minister Scott Morrison spoke about Australia’s troubles with Beijing as an invited guest.

China’s representatives in London dismissed the shared criticisms made by the world’s richest countries as a relic.

“The days when global decisions were dictated by a small group of countries are long gone,” said a spokesman at China’s British embassy.

“There is only one kind of multilateralism, that is, the genuine multilateralism based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and international law, and featuring equal treatment, cooperation and mutual benefits, not pseudo-multilateralism serving the interests of a small clique or political bloc.”

The G7’s joint communique used the sharpest language about Beijing since the 1989 Tiananmen massacre and followed an effort by President Joe Biden to better align America’s China policy with its allies and partners.

Mr Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan — who is travelling with the President on the European trip — acknowledged the G7 leaders had divergent views about the “depth of the challenge” posed by China.

But Mr Sullivan said the US would continue to “rally allies and partners toward what is going to be tough competition in the years ahead”.

Speaking to reporters on his way from Cornwall to Brussels, Mr Sullivan said America would continue “rally allies and partners toward what is going to be tough competition in the years ahead”.

Back in Beijing, foreign ministry spokesman Zhao also scorned NATO at Tuesday evening’s fiery press conference.

“NATO has a long history of poor records. It is up to its neck in debt morally, and has brought wars and instability to the world many times,” he said.

The foreign ministry spokesman brought up the United States bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia in 1999, which killed three Chinese and led to a major diplomatic crisis between the two countries.

“The Chinese people will never forget the historical tragedy of the bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia,” he said.

“This is a debt of blood that NATO owes to the Chinese people.”

One day we'll make Nato pay it back with their blood.
