Resisting the Cold War mentality in world politics: China

 Chinese President Xi Jinping has said Beijing opposes a "Cold War mentality" in global diplomacy, without mentioning strained relations with the United States.

According to the French news agency AFP, on Sunday, Xi Jinping spoke to the delegates of the Communist Party in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, saying that "China strongly opposes all forms of hegemony and power politics. Opposes the mentality of war, opposes interference in the domestic politics of other countries, opposes double standards.

On the issue of Taiwan, he said that China will never commit to abandoning the use of force on Taiwan. Solving the Taiwan issue is a matter for the Chinese people and should be solved by the Chinese people.

"We will continue to pursue the possibility of a peaceful union with the greatest sincerity and great effort, but never resolve to renounce the use of force and reserve the right to take all necessary measures."

According to the Chinese president, "China views an independent, democratic Taiwan as part of its territory."

He claimed that his crackdown on corruption had eliminated "serious clandestine threats" within the country's ruling Communist Party and military.

"The war against corruption has won a great victory and has been comprehensively strengthened, eliminating serious threats within the Party, the state and the military," Xi said.

Chinese President Xi Jinping further said that Beijing is committed to the global fight against climate change.

China had faced severe criticism for its 'zero policy' to control the corona virus epidemic. In this regard, President Xi Jinping said that "China has put people and their lives first when dealing with the epidemic."

He said that China has safeguarded people's safety and health to the highest level and achieved important positive results in preventing the epidemic and harmonizing social and economic development.
