During a regular press conference of China’s Foreign Ministry, the Spokesperson Hua Chunying accused U.S. law enforcement officials of harassing the crewmembers of Chinese vessels during port calls in the United States.
In fact, the Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson stated that U.S. law enforcement officers have repeatedly conducted spot checks targeting the personnel of Chinese shipping companies, enquired about and checked the crew members of Chinese flights to the United States, and screened CPC members.
“Over a period of time, law enforcement officials of relevant U.S. departments have raided the crew of Chinese ships, questioned and inspected the crew of many Chinese flights to the United States, repeatedly fixating on their CPC membership. Such actions incite ideological antagonism and undermine normal personnel exchanges between China and the United States. This is a serious political provocation against the Chinese side”…as Hua Chunying said.
As explained, US moves had provoked ideological antagonism and undermined normal China-US personnel exchanges, adding that it is another example of the resurgence of McCarthyism and the comprehensive containment and suppression of China by US anti-China forces.
“It is also another manifestation of the resurgence of McCarthyism and the full-on containment and suppression against China by the U.S. anti-China forces”…Hua Chunying continued.
In light of the situation, Hua urged American officials to immediately stop such acts, stop stoking ideological antagonism, and stop unjustified crack-down on China. “Otherwise, if the U.S. side insists on escalating its provocative actions, China will certainly take countermeasures”…Hua Chunying concluded.
