BEIJING, 10 June, 2021 (TON): On Wednesday, the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) opposed to the U.S. Senate's approval of "the United States Innovation and Competition Act of 2021."

The committee said, “The bill, full of ideological prejudice and driven by a Cold-War mentality, smears and slanders China's development path and foreign and domestic policies, interferes in China's internal affairs and attempts to contain China's development under the banner of "innovation and competition."

It attempts to maintain the U.S. global hegemony by fanning the so-called China threat, to interfere in China's internal affairs on the pretext of human rights and religion, and to take away China's legitimate right to development by means of "decoupling" in the scientific, technological and economic areas, the statement said.

"We resolutely oppose any official exchanges between the United States and Taiwan," the statement said. "Issues related to Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong are purely China's internal affairs that allow no foreign interference."

The statement stressed that China always pursues peaceful development, and the Chinese people's right to pursue a better life through work is sacred and inviolable.

However, China remains committed to building China-U.S. relations featuring non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation.
