On April 18, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked questions about the remarks related to China by the new US ambassador to Japan.

In response to this, Lin Jian said, I have not seen what you said. But what I want to point out is that the duty of diplomats should be to promote friendship between countries, rather than smearing other countries, provoking relations and inciting confrontation. China has always been the peace, stability theory and progress force of the international community. The international community can see clearly who is showing off his force, provoking confrontation, and threatening peace.
