China accuses Truss of spreading disinformation about China

We may include adverts from us and 3rd parties based on our understanding. Beijing accused the Foreign Secretary of spreading disinformation about China and parroting US rhetoric in an attempt to disrupt regional peace and stability. She said that China was coercion against other countries and called for the UK and Australia to work together to face these threats. China was previously Australia's top trading partner, but in 2020, after the relationship between the two nations soured, Beijing introduced tariffs and other trade actions against the country on a wide range of goods, including barley, wine, beef, seafood, and coal exports. Ms Truss also criticised Beijing for its close ties with Moscow, which she accused of trying to threaten and destabilise other countries. She attacked the Kremlin in her speech for failing to learn the lessons of history. A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in London said that the accusations against China in this speech confuse right and wrong and raise questions about their real intention. They are full of disinformation about China and the current international situation.

The people are seeing China taking concrete measures in a spirit of a community with a shared future for mankind, as well as striving to be a defender of world peace, a contributor to global development and an upholder of international order. They will not be shaken because of the disinformation by a few. The people are discrediting other sovereign countries despite facts, because they are seeing US rhetoric in the speech. This is an attempt to justify the move to create small circles, which have inflicted a negative impact on regional peace and stability.

Ms Truss made a statement during her trip to Australia, where she was holding talks on deepening security, defence and technological links with the country. She was joined by Defence Secretary Ben Wallace for the annual Aukmin talks with Australia's defence and foreign ministers. In her speech, she said: Threats to freedom, democracy and the rule of law are not just regional, they are global. That is why we have to respond together. Iran's nuclear programme has never been more advanced.
