We firmly oppose the irresponsible remarks in the recent statement by the Australian and French Ministerial Consultations on China's internal affairs relating to Taiwan, Xinjiang and Hong Kong as well as the South China Sea issue, which launch groundless accusations against China, grossly interfere China's internal affairs and seriously violate the international law and basic norms governing international relations. We urge relevant parties to stop making irresponsible remarks and act in ways that are conducive to bilateral relations and regional peace and stability, rather than the opposite.
