Boundless seas of yellow canola flowers in southwest #China’s Yunnan province. A sweet breath of spring!

Some in the #US have a habit of creating and leaking #disinformation through anonymous sources. This is a sign of moral degradation. Distasteful and truly pathetic.

The #US side said it's in full compliance with its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons Convention and does not develop or possess such weapons.

Then why has it single-handedly impeded the conclusion of a #BWC verification protocol for 20 years? Why has it remained silent at the calls to open its bio-labs around the world and #FortDerrick to independent international investigations? What's the secret they are hiding?

Director Yang Jiechi: "The recent actions of the current #US administration on the #Taiwan question are obviously not consistent with its statements." "#China urges the US not to go further down the road of great danger."

2⃣ Independent sovereign countries are entitled to do business with any other countries as they see fit.

The #US has gone so far as to threaten that other countries will “pay a price” for not following suit and imposing sanctions as it has done. One country orders a luxury meal, and the rest of the world has to foot the bill? This looks more like what a bully would do.

Some #US officials either lack basic knowledge about history or are forgetful of the past. What they say now might sound more credible if the country had observed the basic norms of international relations all along and had not audaciously launched military strikes against ...

... Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, Libya & Afghanistan, or blatantly interfered in others' internal affairs, or fomented color revolution & regime change in other countries.

Spring is around here in #Beijing. Winter jasmine flowers are blooming.

@StateDept Yes, big countries cannot bully small countries. Think about what the #US did to Cuba, Panama, Grenada, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria & Libya ... Does the US feel guilty now? Will the US pledge not to bully others any more, and under any circumstances?

It's not a bad thing to be labeled by the #US: at least it means there are voices out there not toeing the US line. Like the flicker of candle flame at night, it can help people catch a glimpse of truth.

The Guardian view on #CIA torture, two decades on: we need the truth. “The systematic brutalisation of detainees was pointless as well as cruel. An honest reckoning is long overdue.” Indeed, the world needs more truth about the #US.
