Q:Recently,media outlets in Belgium and other countries have reported that a Chinese national security officer has recruited a Belgian politician to engage in activities.What is your comment on this?

A:The relevant media reports are purely fabricated. China follows the principle of non-interference in other countries’ domestic affairs and firmly rejects acts that slander China. Currently, China-Belgium and China-Europe relations have shown good momentum of consolidation and growth. The Chinese side urges relevant media to stop anti-China political manipulation and malicious smears, have an objective view of the development of China-Belgium and China-Europe relations, and do more things that will contribute to mutual understanding and cooperation between China and Belgium and China and Europe.
