The Chinese Embassy in the United States has officially rejected recent allegations from some US media and politicians that link China to the surge in illegal immigration into the US.
A spokesperson for the Chinese government stated on Monday that China firmly opposes using illegal immigration as a pretext to smear the nation. According to the spokesperson, China's stance on illegal immigration has remained consistent and transparent, with the government strongly opposing all forms of illegal entry.
In recent years, Chinese law enforcement agencies have intensified efforts to combat crimes that disrupt national border tranquility. This includes rigorous actions against smuggling organizations and offenders, leading to significant successes in maintaining border security.
Furthermore, China has been actively cooperating with international partners to address cross-border smuggling activities, repatriate illegal immigrants, and ensure the orderly flow of people across borders. The spokesperson emphasized that illegal immigration is a global issue that necessitates international collaboration.
The Chinese Embassy also called on the United States to demonstrate sincerity and reciprocate attention to China's concerns to foster a conducive environment for cooperation on repatriation efforts of illegal immigrants.
