2022/7/4 | NASA said China’s space program was a military program and it might colonise the Moon. | This is not the first time that the head of NASA has been reckless with facts. Some US officials keep slandering China’s normal and reasonable outer space undertaking. China firmly opposes such irresponsible remarks. | The US is trying to compete with us in the space. // LoL, you can’t stop our advance in the space. // Actually it is the US who wants to take over the moon. |
2022/7/7 | UK planned to block Huawei | The British side, without any solid evidence, repeatedly discriminates and excludes Chinese enterprises, which seriously harms the legitimate interests of Chinese enterprises, which China strongly opposes. | From now on, I will not buy anything from the West. // Open the door! We want free trade. // China hasn’t shown its strength yet, they have already gone crazy. |
2020/3/17 | Serbia sought aid from China to fight Covid-19. | China will not forget the support of the Serbian government and people to China. Now that Serbia is facing the threat, China will stand firmly side by side with the Serbian people and is willing to provide the Serbian side with masks, protective clothing and other materials, and send medical experts to Serbia. | Morality and justice. I love China! // I will always remember the Belgrade bombing in 1999. // China is a great nation and a moral example! |
