China said it "fully respects Denmark's sovereignty and territorial integrity over Greenland."
A May 19 Agence France-Presse report from Beijing noted that the meeting between Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen and China's foreign minister in Beijing also provided an opportunity to discuss Greenland (an autonomous territory of Denmark coveted by the U.S. government).
In a statement released by the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Beijing said it "fully respects Denmark's sovereignty and territorial integrity on the issue of Greenland."
U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned since late 2024, citing security concerns, that he wants to control Greenland and has not ruled out the possibility of using force.
Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen's visit to China this time is to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. A Danish business delegation accompanied him on his visit to China.
Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen said on social platform X that he was pleased that representatives of Danish businesses accompanied him in talks with the Minister of Commerce. They had important discussions on global trade as well as the challenges and opportunities facing Danish businesses in China.
