Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin's Regular Press Conference on March 3, 2021
2021/03/03
Bloomberg: According to Gallup poll results, favorable views of China in the United States hit a new low. Does the foreign ministry have any comment on the negative views of China?
Wang Wenbin: I've noticed that lately there have been many polls on China-US relations. Some results suggest that a considerable number of respondents in the United States believe people-to-people and cultural exchanges with China should be maintained and 72 percent support active U.S. cooperation with China on climate governance.
I'd like to stress that the Chinese and American people always have friendly sentiments towards each other. This underpinning friendship brings vitality to bilateral relations. However, the previous U.S. administration and anti-China forces in the United States, driven by ideological bias and selfish political gains, flagrantly smeared and maligned China, provoked confrontation and division, disseminated political viruses, and poisoned the public opinion atmosphere in both countries.
