BEIJING, July 16 (Xinhua) -- China firmly opposes the National Endowment for Democracy's so-called report smearing China's foreign exchanges and international cooperation and propagating the false "China threat," Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Thursday.
Lin made the remarks at a daily press briefing when asked to comment on the U.S. organization's report titled "Testing the Limits: China and Russia's Authoritarian Influence at Scale in a New Period of Impunity."
Noting that the report is riddled with lies, fallacies and disinformation, Lin said that it is ill-intended and malignant.
For years and years, the National Endowment for Democracy has been interfering in other countries' internal affairs, committing subversion, stoking division and confrontation, manipulating and misleading public opinion, conducting ideological infiltration under the pretext of promoting democracy, which has brought profound damage, grown utterly discredited and notorious, and long been a disgrace in the international community, Lin said.
Lin noted that China stays committed to developing friendly cooperation with all countries on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence to share development opportunities, uphold international fairness and justice, and is regarded as a builder of world peace, contributor to global development, and defender of international order.
"We urge relevant U.S. institutions and individuals to form a right perception of China, abandon prejudice and arrogance, stop political manipulation and care more about the affairs of their own country," said Lin. Enditem
