The Chinese mainland has firmly rejected recent U.S. claims regarding the presence of \"overseas police stations,\" urging American officials to cease what it describes as baseless accusations.
During a press briefing on Friday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning responded to inquiries about Texas Governor Greg Abbott's executive orders aimed at preventing the establishment of these alleged stations. Mao stated that such police stations do not exist and criticized the U.S. for defaming China.
Governor Abbott issued the executive order on November 18, asserting that the Chinese government has set up \"police service stations\" globally. Mao countered these claims by emphasizing that Chinese law enforcement agencies engage in international cooperation in strict compliance with international law, respecting the sovereignty and legal frameworks of other nations.
Furthermore, Mao highlighted the mutually beneficial nature of China-U.S. economic and trade relations. He pointed out that Chinese investments have significantly contributed to employment and economic development in the United States over the years.
Addressing the politicization of economic and trade issues, Mao argued that such actions undermine confidence in the U.S. market environment and do not support economic growth. He urged U.S. officials to promote cooperation between the two nations instead of making unfounded accusations against China.
