Original title: 177 Stanford staff urged the U.S. government to stop the "China Action Plan". Foreign ministry: the United States should listen to the voice of justice
China Youth Daily client, Beijing, September 14 (Zhongqing daily · zhongqing.com reporter Chen Xiaoru) on September 13, 177 Stanford University Faculty and employees jointly wrote to the U.S. Department of justice, criticizing the "China Action Plan" launched by the trump government in 2018 for seriously deviating from the established objectives, damaging the competitiveness of U.S. scientific research, inciting racial discrimination, and urging the U.S. government to stop this "plan".
In response, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on the 14th that the so-called "China Action Plan" of the United States, which has been exposed by the media, first sets case handling indicators and then investigates the case. Such disregard for judicial justice will only lead to unjust, false and wrong cases. As of the end of March this year, none of the so-called typical cases published on the website of the "China Action Plan" of the US Department of justice involved intellectual property rights and commercial secret theft. The charges were fraud, misrepresentation, tax concealment, etc.
Zhao Lijian pointed out that the joint letter of faculty and staff of American colleges and universities has once again proved that more and more people in the United States recognize that this so-called "China Action Plan" is essentially a tool for us Anti China forces to curb and suppress China by abusing the concept of national security. This plan has not only caused serious harm to China US relations, but also exacerbated racial discrimination in the United States and caused serious damage to Asian American groups.
Zhao Lijian once again urged the US side to listen to the just voices of all sectors of the US, earnestly correct mistakes, and stop interfering with the normal exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States in science, technology, humanities and other fields.
