Chinese Spokesperson Refutes U.S. Report Against China
"It seems that some U.S. politicians might be suffering a 'China-phobia' or persecutory delusion and displaying quite serious symptoms.”
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson on Wednesday refuted a U.S. report against China, saying it is political disinformation fabricated by a handful of Senate Republicans and completely ungrounded.
Spokesperson Zhao Lijian made the remarks at a daily press briefing when asked to comment on the so-called report released by Republican staff members of the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

“It seems that some U.S. politicians might be suffering a ‘China-phobia’ or persecutory delusion and displaying quite serious symptoms.”
