Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mao Ning presided over the regular press conference on July 30. At the meeting, a reporter asked about the incident where New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters asked a Chinese member of parliament to “go back to his country,” saying that the Chinese Embassy in New Zealand had also responded. Mao Ning said that first of all, the New Zealand parliamentary debate is New Zealand's internal affairs, and the Chinese side will not comment. We have noticed that people from all walks of life in New Zealand, including Prime Minister Laxson, have criticized the remarks made by those concerned. The Chinese side has always advocated respect for the development path and system model chosen independently by the peoples of all countries, opposes all forms of discrimination and prejudice, and hopes that the people involved in the New Zealand side will do more things conducive to promoting friendship between the two countries and not use China in domestic politics.
