The United States must stop passing its national interests off as international legal norms, a Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman told a news conference Thursday.
“The US must stop palming off its home-grown concepts as international rules,” Senior Colonel Wu Qian said. “Pursuing American hegemony is also a mistake.”
“We are calling on the US to look at China’s peaceful development in an unbiased way and accept it. This would benefit Chinese-American relations, as well as global peace and stability,” he said. “As for the rule-based international order, the US is the world’s most notorious offender of those rules,” he pointed out.
