The US government has banned American personnel stationed in China from having romantic relationships with Chinese citizens. In response, the Chinese Foreign Ministry made a statement.
At the regular press conference held on April 3rd, the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Guo Jia Kun, responded to the question from foreign media reporters by saying, "I think this question would be more appropriate for you to ask the US side."
The "love ban" issued by the US government to its personnel stationed in China is ostensibly aimed at preventing "emotional infiltration," but in reality, it elevates "romantic thinking" to "political thinking." However, the Chinese Foreign Ministry's "T'ai Chi-style" response, which seems light-hearted and casual, is akin to the "four taels deflecting a thousand jin" technique in kung fu novels, greatly enhancing the absurdity of the situation and the irony. Compared to America's over-suspicious "victim paranoia," China's calmness actually highlights its institutional confidence—after all, if one truly worries that "love could endanger national security," wouldn't that reflect a lack of confidence in one's own security?
