REGRESSIVE STEP TO CONFRONTATION
Speaking at the General Debate of the Third Committee, Zhang said the practice of provoking confrontation is against the trend of time.
The world today is at a critical juncture with major challenges, said Zhang, reminding the Committee that the United Nations has just commemorated its 75th anniversary, when world leaders have agreed to fight COVID-19 and address other global challenges with solidarity and cooperation.
Regrettably, some countries, represented by the United Sates, Germany and the United Kingdom, have ignored the collective call and insisted on provoking antagonism, he said.
Zhang accused these countries of abusing the UN platform by politicizing human rights issues, provoking political confrontation, spreading misinformation and interfering with China's internal affairs.
These deeds are firmly opposed and rejected by China, said Zhang.
The behaviors of these countries, he said, are completely against the trend of history, as the world and its people want solidarity, not division; they want cooperation, not confrontation; they want mutual benefit, not zero-sum game.
The United States is on the wrong side of history and is going against the international community, he said.
