BEIJING: Political party leaders from around the world have firmly opposed some U.S. politicians’ denigration and tarnishing of China’s image, and objected to their interference in China’s internal affairs and severe undermining of China-U.S. relations.
In their messages sent recently to the International Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, the party leaders hope that all parties will strengthen communication and cooperation and jointly safeguard world peace, stability and development.
Solly Afrika Mapaila, first deputy general secretary of the South African Communist Party (SACP), said the SACP and all the people who love peace strongly oppose the U.S. government’s recent provocative attacks on China on issues concerning the South China Sea, Hong Kong, Tibet and Taiwan.
Mapaila said they believe that under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at its core, the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics will continue to make great strides forward. Sophia Shaningwa, secretary-general of Namibia’s ruling party South West Africa People’s Organization, said that the U.S. recent moves against China have fully exposed its hegemonic nature. Citing an old Chinese saying of “a just cause enjoys abundant support while an unjust cause finds little,” Shaningwa said that the anti-China plot of Washington is unpopular and doomed to fail. Umaru Napoleon Koroma, secretary-general of the Sierra Leone People’s Party, opposed relevant countries’ smears and attacks on China on the excuse of the COVID-19 pandemic and other issues. Sierra Leone will not waver in supporting China on issues concerning China’s core interests, Koroma said, adding that the country is ready to maintain communication and coordination with China and work together to strengthen international cooperation in fighting COVID-19 and promote global economic recovery. Jorge Taiana, secretary of international relations of the Argentine Justicialist Party and president of foreign relations commission of the Senate, said he firmly opposes hegemony and unilateralism as well as politicizing the COVID-19 epidemic and interfering in the internal affairs of other countries under the pretext of the epidemic. The Justicialist Party and the CPC share a broad consensus on issues including safeguarding world peace, said Taiana, adding that the two parties will actively promote the development of their relations and also relations between the two countries so as to jointly promote the establishment of a more just and reasonable world order.
