An excessive statement from China about Turkey

The spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mao Ning, stated about Turkey's operations against the threats along its southern borders, which began on October 2, "China has always been against the use of force in the international community. The parties should respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Syria."

Regarding relations with Erbil and the Kurdistan Region, Mao Ning mentioned, "China has a strategic partnership with Iraq. Our relations have been close in the past few years. In 2019, we witnessed new developments. During the China-Arab Summit, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Leader Xi Jinping met with Sudan. This meeting paved the way for new opportunities in bilateral relations."

"FULL SUPPORT FROM CHINA FOR THE ASSAD REGIME

Responding to a question about the Syria-China relationship, spokesperson Mao Ning stated, 'China is ready to work with Syria to strengthen mutual trust, enhance overall coordination, and reach new heights in China-Syria relations.'

The interview of Mehdi Ferec, head of the Chinese Office of the Chinese Propaganda agency “Rudaw Media Group”, with Mao Ning, spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is as follows:

I'd like to inquire about the current state of your relationship with Iraq and the Kurdistan Region. In recent years, we haven't seen visits to Beijing by the Iraqi Prime Minister or the Kurdish leader. What would you like to say about this?

'China and Iraq have a strategic partnership. Our relations have been close in the past few years. In 2019, we witnessed new developments.'"

"EMPHASIS ON THE CHINA-ARAB SUMMIT

During the China-Arab Summit, CCP Leader Xi Jinping met with Sudan. This meeting paved the way for new opportunities in bilateral relations. China is prepared to reach agreements with the central government and all levels of government in Iraq to strengthen the strategic partnership between the two countries.

Given China's significant role in the Middle East, your strong ties with Syria, and your recent hosting of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, you could play a major role in resolving the region's issues. How can you assist in resolving the Kurdish issue within the framework of the country's sovereignty in Syria?"

"China and Syria share a historic friendship. Our diplomatic relations were established 67 years ago, and since then, the relationship has continued to grow steadily. Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad came to Huangho to attend the opening ceremony of the Asian Games.

(Xi Jinping), a perpetrator of genocide, met with Al-Assad and discussed important issues of mutual concern. The two heads of state agreed on a strategic partnership. China is ready to work with Syria to strengthen mutual trust, enhance overall coordination, and reach new heights in China-Syria relations."

"WE ARE AGAINST THE USE OF FORCE"

Turkey is conducting operations in the areas controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces in eastern Syria, and the operations are in their 6th day. What is China's stance on this matter?

China has always been against the use of force in the international community. The parties involved should respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Syria. Thank you."
