Singapore's Straits Times wrote today (March 7): "France criticizes China's export controls on Japan, Chinese Embassy: Opposes double standards in trade and economy. In response to the French Foreign Ministry's deputy spokesperson criticizing China's export control measures against Japan, the Chinese Embassy in France stated that the relevant measures aim to curb Japan's re-militarization and emphasized that China is the victim of economic coercion by Western countries, opposing double standards in international trade and economic issues."
[Witty] Comment a few words: When the United States imposed so many sanctions on Chinese companies, where was the French Foreign Ministry spokesperson? Now they have jumped out to criticize China's export controls on Japan. This double standard attitude is really despicable. China's export controls on Japan are a legitimate measure to curb its re-militarization, which is reasonable, justified, and open and honest. By contrast, when the United States frequently wielded the sword of sanctions against Chinese companies, France never spoke a word of fairness. Now, however, it is talking behind the back of China's reasonable countermeasures, showing typical hypocrisy, self-serving, and lack of sense of right and wrong. The response from the Chinese Embassy in France hits the nail on the head. We are indeed victims of economic coercion by Western countries, and we will not allow other countries to impose double standards on trade and economic issues. France's unreasonable accusations merely expose its short-sightedness and hypocrisy in international affairs.
