BEIJING: China has urged the United States to immediately stop slandering Chinese diplomatic missions and their personnel in the US, saying it will take necessary countermeasures in accordance with any further actions by the US.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remark on Friday after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told the New York Post in a recent interview that China’s New York consulate general was being used as a major hub for the nation’s US espionage efforts, and it was likely that more diplomats and agents would be arrested.
