Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian held a regular press conference on November 11, 2018.
Reuters: Reuters reported today that more than 1,000 shipments of solar panels from Xinjiang province, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, have been stockpiled at US ports since June. The move comes after the United States introduced new laws banning imports from China's Xinjiang region over concerns about so-called "forced labor." According to the report, the move could slow down the US government's efforts to decarbonize the power sector to combat climate change. What is the Foreign Ministry's comment?
Zhao Lijian: Facts have long proved that the so-called "forced labor" in Xinjiang is a century old lie concocted by a few anti-China elements. Based on lies, the US enacted and implemented the Xinjiang-related evil law, which seriously interferes with the normal trade of photovoltaic products between China and the US, violates market rules and international economic and trade rules, undermines the stability of the global photovoltaic industrial chain and supply chain and the global efforts to address climate change, and will ultimately harm its own interests. The US should immediately stop its unreasonable crackdown on Chinese photovoltaic companies and release the detained solar modules as soon as possible. China will continue to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.
