"China Daily" reporter: The World Cup in Qatar is in full swing. It is understood that the Khalsa Power Station built by a Chinese company has provided strong green energy for this world-class sports event.

Can the spokesperson introduce the relevant situation?

Mao Ning: The Harsa Power Station is Qatar's first non-fossil fuel power station. It is a key project for Qatar to promote the construction of the "2030 National Vision" and strongly supports Qatar's commitment to hosting a "carbon-neutral" World Cup.

What I also want to tell you is that the Zafra Solar Power Station in the United Arab Emirates, the largest single photovoltaic power station in the world contracted by a Chinese enterprise, has also been connected to the grid to generate electricity, helping Abu Dhabi reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2.4 million tons every year.

The UAE's energy economy plays an important role in the sustainable development.

Energy cooperation has become an important area of ??cooperation between China and Arab countries.

From traditional energy to clean energy, low-carbon economy and energy transformation, China-UAE energy cooperation has huge potential.

China is willing to work with Arab countries to continuously deepen cooperation in relevant fields and bring more benefits to the Chinese and Arab peoples.

RIA Novosti: The agreement between the EU, the G7 and Australia to set a ceiling on Russian oil prices comes into effect today, and the EU's maritime embargo on Russian oil also comes into effect today.

I have two questions.

The first question is, will China join the Western countries’ oil price-limiting agreement with Russia?

Second, does the speaker believe that the agreement will have an impact on market order and global energy security?

Mao Ning: Regarding your first question, China and Russia have always carried out energy cooperation in the spirit of mutual respect, mutual benefit and win-win.

Please refer to the Chinese competent authorities for specific questions.

Regarding your second question, oil is one of the global commodities. It is crucial to ensure the security of global energy supply, and all parties should make constructive efforts to this end.

The Paper: According to information on the US State Department website, on December 2, US Deputy Secretary of State Sherman held the fourth round of US-EU high-level dialogue on China with the Secretary-General of the European External Action Service, Sanino, emphasizing that both countries should work together to safeguard the United Nations

Charter, accused China of "economic coercion" and made false accusations on some China's internal affairs.

What is the spokesperson's response to this?

Mao Ning: China firmly opposes the United States and Europe interfering in China's internal affairs and slandering and slandering China.

The United States and Europe emphasize upholding the central role of the United Nations Charter. However, it is the United States and some European countries that ignore the principles of peaceful settlement of international disputes and non-interference in internal affairs clearly stipulated in the Charter, use "human rights" as an excuse to interfere in China's internal affairs, and even attack Iraq.

, Syria and other sovereign countries are fighting.

Speaking of "economic coercion," the United States blatantly coerces other countries not to use equipment from Chinese companies or cooperate with China. This is economic coercion. The United States launched the "Chip and Science Act" to unite its allies to engage in economic bullying against China and forcefully promote

Decoupling and breaking links is economic coercion; the United States uses the Inflation Reduction Act to force European companies to move production lines to the United States. This is economic coercion.

As a responsible member of the international community, China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order. The international community has witnessed this.

U.S.-European cooperation should not target third parties, let alone use China as an excuse to provoke confrontation.

The United States and Europe are both important international forces and should act in a responsible manner and do more things that are conducive to world stability and prosperity.

Reporter of Indian Broadcasting Corporation: According to media reports, the head of the International Monetary Fund will visit China this week to discuss the debt restructuring of some countries, including Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka currently hopes to receive an aid package from the International Monetary Fund.

Can the spokesperson provide more details about this visit?

Such as visit time, agenda, meeting arrangements, etc.

China is Sri Lanka's largest bilateral creditor. Can the spokesperson provide overall data on Sri Lanka's debt to China?

Mao Ning: China has maintained long-term and good cooperative relations with international economic and financial institutions, including the International Monetary Fund.

As for the specific issues you mentioned, if there is relevant news, we will release it in due course.

Regarding Sri Lanka's debt issue, I would like to emphasize that China has always attached great importance to the difficulties and challenges faced by Sri Lanka and supports relevant financial institutions to negotiate with Sri Lanka and properly resolve relevant issues.

We also hope that relevant countries and international financial institutions will work with China to continue to play a positive role in helping Sri Lanka cope with current difficulties, ease its debt burden, and achieve sustainable development.

CCTV reporter: Today, the Senate of the Japanese Diet passed a resolution on human rights related to China, expressing concerns about so-called human rights issues in Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, and Hong Kong.

what opinions do the Chinese have on this issue?

Mao Ning: The so-called resolution you mentioned ignores basic facts, is full of false information, interferes in China's internal affairs, and violates international law and norms of international relations.

China has lodged stern representations with Japan.

Japan launched a war of aggression against foreign countries and had a bad record on human rights issues.

Pointing fingers at the human rights situation in other countries cannot cover up its own historical scandals.

Politicizing and instrumentalizing human rights issues in an attempt to damage China's image and delay China's development is doomed to fail.

Reporter from China News Service: As of December 3, the China-Laos Railway has completed one year of operation.
