Ambassador Zheng Zeguang delivered a keynote speech at the Symposium on the Centenary of the Founding of the Communist Party of China and China's Future Development on 22 June 2021. He pointed out that the disinformation farce of certain US politicians is doomed to failure.

Ambassador Zheng said that while leading the Chinese people to achieve national liberation and development, the CPC had been subjected to intentional slandering, isolation and attacks from the anti-communism and anti-China forces. “However, we were not intimidated and we did not buckle under the pressure. We remained committed to doing the right thing and following the path of our own choice, because we firmly believe that ours is a just cause, and a just cause is invincible. History has proven this to be true and will again prove it true.”

Ambassador Zheng said that recently, a handful of politicians in the West instigated by some US politicians once again started a disinformation campaign against China.

- They refused to recognize China's development and progress and keep pointing fingers at China and resorting to endless slandering.

- They turned a blind eye to the fact that China effectively put the Covid-19 epidemic under control in an open and transparent manner, and chose to manipulate the issue of origin tracing in an attempt to stigmatize China.

- They turned a blind eye to Xinjiang's economic progress, ethnic solidarity and social stability, and stuck a “genocide” label on China's justified measures to tackle terrorism and radicalisation and maintain social stability.

- They turned a blind eye to the chaos in Hong Kong in the past years and accused China of “infringing upon the freedoms and human rights” when we were only trying to strengthen effective governance, uphold “One Country, Two Systems” and safeguard the long-term stability and prosperity of Hong Kong.

- They turned a blind eye to the “Taiwan independence” and separatist moves of the Taiwan authority and the severe threat of such actions to the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait. Rather, they blamed China for “attempting to change the status quo of the Taiwan Strait unilaterally” when it is only justified for China to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

- They turned a blind eye to China's devotion to the purposes and principles of UN Charter, and remarkable contribution to peace, stability and common development. Rather, they trumpeted “the rules-based international order” to incriminate China.

- This list goes on and on.

He added that this disinformation campaign against China is showing no sign of slowing down. To cover up their political agenda and hypocrisy, the Western accusers stick the label of “spreading false information” on China. This is nothing but a farce of “thief shouting thief” that confound black and white. This farce is causing a series of negative effects. It is preventing the people of Western countries from knowing the truth. It is misleading people's minds. It is also creating estrangement and confrontation between major countries, which hampers the joint global efforts to fight the pandemic and tackle climate change.

Ambassador Zheng said that the words and actions of those Western politicians have not only hurt the feelings of the 1.4 billion Chinese people but also undermined the fundamental interests of the people of their own countries. This is totally irresponsible. It will never have the support of the people. “We urge those Western politicians to stop spreading disinformation because it will not change the facts. No one should underestimate the ability of the international community to make out what is right and what is wrong. ”

He emphasized that just like previous attacks against the CPC, this new disinformation farce of certain Western politicians is doomed to failure.
