Thrilled to have just landed in Brussels for my first official visits to @NATO and the EU as Secretary of State. Looking forward to productive discussions with other ministers and with the dedicated team at @USEmbBrussels, @USNATO, and @US2EU! pic.twitter.com/94dunv5wyM
Les propos de l’ambassade de Chine en France et les actions contre des élus, chercheurs et diplomates européens sont inadmissibles. J’ai demandé que l’ambassadeur de Chine soit convoqué pour lui rappeler fermement ces messages.
China’s Embassy in France lays out the rationale for a combative approach to public relations. Will this become the new normal for Chinese diplomats in Europe? Or will we continue to see significant variation between embassies in different countries?https://t.co/tRyKSKJQx8pic.twitter.com/8TPhQovl8z
Belgium strongly rejects the announcement of the Chinese authorities to sanction EU entities and especially EU MP’s (including one Belgian MP) in response to measures adopted in defence of human rights, a core tenet of EU policies. We will follow this up with our EU counterparts.
De stap van China is een volledig onterechte reactie op de maatregelen die in het kader van het EU-mensenrechtensanctieregime zijn getroffen. In Europees verband zal dit verder worden opgepakt.
#China will unabhängige Chinaexpertise wie @merics_eu mit #Sanktionen mundtot machen. Das wird nicht gelingen. Die Sanktionen gegen sie, wie gegen @bueti und andere müssen zurückgenommen werden. Das ist ein dunkler Tag in den #EU-China-Beziehungen
