美方有关乌克兰问题的涉华谬论
谬论1：美方情报显示，中方曾向俄方表示不会阻止俄方对乌克兰采取行动，但要求俄方在北京冬奥会结束前不“入侵”乌克兰。俄方还曾请求中方提供武器装备等援助。
真相：俄罗斯是主权国家，根据自身战略和利益独立自主判断、决定和实施自己的外交战略，不需要事先征求中国意见。事实上，美方官员已经承认并没有证据表明中方向俄提供了军事援助。
◆2022年3月14日，俄罗斯总统新闻秘书佩斯科夫表示，俄罗斯有能力在乌克兰开展行动，未曾向其他国家寻求援助。

◆据媒体披露，《纽约时报》有关报道援引的美方不具名高官透露的消息系美国白宫国安会印太事务高官授意，是美方蓄意散布抹黑中国、转移视线、甩锅推责的虚假消息。
https://world.huanqiu.com/article/4777H2eyHqM
◆美国全国广播公司（NBC）披露，美国情报官员散布的有关俄乌冲突的信息并非全部“可靠”，其中一些说法甚至属于捏造，比如中方向俄提供军事援助，目的是为了让美方赢得一场针对俄罗斯的先发制人“信息战”。

◆2022年3月22日，美国总统国家安全事务助理沙利文在吹风会上承认，没有迹象显示中国向俄罗斯提供军事装备。
https://www.reuters.com/world/china/us-has-not-seen-china-providing-military-equipment-russia-white-house-2022-03-22/
◆2022年3月30日，美国国防部发言人柯比表示，美国并没有看到中国向俄罗斯提供军事援助的迹象。

谬论2：今年2月4日中俄发表联合声明是中国在乌克兰问题上支持俄罗斯的证据。中俄联合声明本身就是一种对俄罗斯“入侵”乌克兰的“暗中支持”。
真相：今年2月，中方同来华出席北京冬奥会开幕式的多国领导人发表联合文件。美方对中俄联合声明断章取义，是刻意曲解抹黑。
◆北京冬奥会期间，多国政要来华访问，中国同吉尔吉斯斯坦、阿根廷、厄瓜多尔、蒙古国、巴基斯坦、巴布亚新几内亚等国分别发表联合文件，表示在涉及彼此核心利益问题上相互支持，强调共同维护多边主义。
◆中俄联合声明呼吁捍卫和平、发展、公平、正义、民主、自由的全人类共同价值，尊重各国人民自主选择发展道路的权利及各国主权安全发展利益，捍卫以联合国为核心的国际体系和以国际法为基础的国际秩序，践行联合国和联合国安理会发挥核心协调作用的真正的多边主义，推进国际关系民主化，实现世界和平、稳定与可持续发展。
◆中俄联合声明强调，双方倡导并推动建设相互尊重、和平共处、合作共赢的新型大国关系，指出中俄新型国家间关系超越冷战时期的军事政治同盟关系模式，两国加强战略协作不针对第三国，也不受第三国和国际形势变幻影响。
◆中俄关系不结盟，不对抗，不针对第三方，同美国等少数西方国家以意识形态划线，奉行非友即敌的冷战思维，拼凑所谓“同盟”、拉帮结伙搞“小圈子”和集团政治、制造对抗分裂有本质不同。
谬论3：中方帮助俄罗斯散布关于“美国在乌拥有生物武器”的虚假信息。
真相：转移视线。公开资料显示，美国是全球生物军事活动最多的国家，也是唯一在多场战争中使用过生物武器和化学武器的国家。美国还是唯一反对建立《禁止生物武器公约》多边核查机制的国家，这是美方20多年来的公开立场。
◆美国国防部在全球30个国家控制了336个生物实验室。美国继承了侵华日军731部队的罪恶遗产，以德特里克堡基地为大本营研发生物武器。1975年《禁止生物武器公约》生效后，美国相关研发活动仍在继续。20多年来，美国一直独家反对建立《禁止生物武器公约》多边核查机制，声称“生物领域不可核查”“核查可能威胁美国国家利益和商业机密”。美国作为《禁止生物武器公约》缔约国，有义务根据《公约》第五条规定，对国际社会的关切作出澄清。
http://m.stdaily.com/guoji/xinwen/202203/c679761bfe7c44898178ee7ff0a271f1.shtml
◆2021年11月，美国向《禁止生物武器公约》缔约国大会提交的工作文件承认美国在乌克兰有26处生物实验室等合作设施。2022年3月，美国国防部公布的“事实文件”显示美在乌有46个“合作设施”。

◆2005年8月29日，美乌《关于防止可用于发展生物武器的技术、病原体和专业知识扩散领域的合作协议》明确规定，美国防部代表有权参与乌方设施所有相关活动，乌境内所有危险病毒都必须储存在这些实验室，乌方必须与美方共享相关监测数据、向美方提供其指定的病原体，且不得公开美方认定的“敏感信息”。

◆2022年3月8日，美国副国务卿纽兰在美参议院听证会上亲口承认“乌克兰有生物研究设施”，并称“我们担心俄军可能会试图控制它们，正在同乌克兰方面合作，防止俄军取得那些研究材料”。
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydSf57SRtcQ
◆2022年3月10日，美国福克斯新闻电视主持人卡尔森表示，美国政府资助乌秘密生物实验室进行危险病原体研究。美政府虽多次强烈否认并称这是俄方宣传，我们愚蠢地认为美政府说的是真的，但美政府负责乌问题的官员确认美资助乌生物实验室的说法是真的。
https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/tucker-the-pentagon-is-lying-about-bio-labs-in-ukraine
◆2022年3月18日，保加利亚记者盖坦芝耶娃发布有关美乌合作的“内部文件”，披露两国生物实验合作大量细节，比如乌政府禁止公开披露有关美国五角大楼在乌建立生物实验室的“敏感信息”；乌可向美国防部提供被视为“乌克兰国家机密”的某些信息和技术；乌有义务向美国转让用于生物研究的危险病原体等。
http://news.cri.cn/2022-03-25/d8399086-f156-53eb-dec6-3a9a5dbf3164.html
◆联合国前伊拉克首席武器核查员、前美国海军陆战队情报官员里特接受采访时表示，对美在乌生物实验室里所作所为绝对有必要进行严格核查，只有这样才能证明美是否遵守《禁止生物武器公约》。
https://www.news.cn/world/2022-03/31/c_1128521601.htm
◆朝鲜战争时期，美军曾在朝鲜北部和中国东北部分地区秘密实施细菌战，以飞机布撒大量带有鼠疫杆菌、霍乱弧菌等病菌的昆虫、老鼠等媒介物。越南战争期间，美在越投放约2000万加仑的落叶剂（“橙剂”等有毒化学物质），导致40万越南人死亡、200万越南人罹患癌症或其他疾病。
◆美曾公开散布或通过资助非政府组织散布伊拉克、叙利亚使用生化武器虚假信息。美前国务卿鲍威尔在2011年接受半岛电视台采访时公开承认就伊拉克拥有生化武器发布虚假信息。美政府长期是“白头盔”组织主要资助者，曾指使其多次发布叙利亚政府使用化学武器的伪造视频。

谬论4：中方声称“美国和北约才是乌克兰危机始作俑者”是帮助俄罗斯虚假宣传。
真相：国际社会有识之士对美国持续推动北约东扩可能造成的影响早已多次公开作出预警。
◆1990年，美国时任国务卿贝克在与戈尔巴乔夫会晤时明确作出北约“一英寸都不会向东推进”的承诺。然而在美国主导下，北约1999年后五次东扩，成员国从16个增加到30个，向东推进1000多公里，直抵俄罗斯边境，实现对黑海的“C”形环绕。
◆英国国家档案馆披露的文件显示，美国代表在当年谈判中明确承诺，北约不应正式或非正式向东扩张。
https://www.tellerreport.com/news/2022-02-18-spiegel--the-west-in-a-1991-document-declared-the-unacceptability-of-nato-expansion-to-the-east.r1bJ_VK6kq.html
◆俄方多年以来一直提出同美方就欧洲安全保障倡议进行对话，美方置之不理。2021年，俄罗斯多次提出同北约谈判签署和平协议，但遭到美国和北约拒绝。
◆美国和北约在明知俄安全关切情况下，强化对乌克兰军事援助，帮助乌训练军事人员。
据美媒体报道，美前官员表示，美为乌精锐军队和特种作战部队提供了大量先进军事训练。2015年以来，美中情局在乌开展了包括枪支、陆地导航和伪装技术等一系列密集军事培训。该项目始于奥巴马总统任期，后在特朗普总统在任期间扩展，并在拜登政府期间再次扩大规模。
据加拿大媒体报道，加武装部队（CAF）2014年以来已花费超过8.9亿美元训练乌士兵，其中2019年2月至2022年2月间，CAF在佐洛切夫组织训练了3万多名乌士兵。

◆美国中情局在美南部一隐秘地点长期培训“亚速营”成员。2014年以来，美乌一直在联合国对打击“新纳粹主义”相关决议草案投反对票。2015年美国会众议院取消对“亚速营”等资助禁令，并向乌提供大量军事援助。2018年，美智库大西洋理事会发布报告称，美向乌提供的部分武器装备接收方正是“亚速营”。
◆2014年，美国前国务卿基辛格在《华盛顿邮报》撰文表示，乌克兰如果要生存与发展，就不应该加入北约，不应该在西方与东方间抉择、不应该成为一方反对另一方的“前哨”，而应该成为连结双方的“桥梁”。
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine-crisis-henry-kissinger-urges-policy-not-posturing/
◆1997年，美国前外交官、苏联问题观察家乔治·凯南在《纽约时报》撰文表示，北约继续向俄罗斯扩张“将是美国在整个后冷战时代政策中最致命的错误”。

◆美国政治学家米尔斯海默指出，西方对今天发生的事情负有主要责任。目前局面很大程度是由于北约各成员国在2008年布加勒斯特峰会上所做出“乌克兰和格鲁吉亚将成为北约成员国”的决定。西方一直在拿木棍戳熊的眼睛，这头熊可能不会对西方做法一笑了之，它很可能会反击。这就是正在发生的事情。

◆美国著名国际问题专家弗里德曼刊文表示，在这场乌克兰危机中，美国和北约并非无辜的旁观者。美国的北约东扩政策给乌克兰危机这场冲突大火“添了一块巨大的木头”。
https://www.chinanews.com.cn/gj/2022/03-06/9693915.shtml
◆2022年2月28日，美国参议员桑德斯在演讲中以1962年古巴导弹危机为例表示，肯尼迪政府认为苏联在距美国海岸90英里的古巴部署导弹对美国家安全构成不可接受的威胁。难道真的会有人认为，如果墨西哥、古巴或者中美洲、拉丁美洲任何国家同美对手结成军事联盟，美会不发一言吗？美议员会站起来轻松地说，“墨西哥可是个独立国家，他们有权做自己任何想做的事”吗？

◆二战结束后，“代理人战争”成为美国干涉他国事务一个主要选项。这场美国和北约操弄的乌克兰危机即是“代理人战争”。英国前议员乔治·加洛韦表示，美国准备让乌克兰战斗到流尽最后一滴血。

◆苏联解体后，中国和美国在1992年分别接待了俄罗斯总统叶利钦首次访问，同俄罗斯确立了“互不敌对”关系。当时的中俄、美俄关系，站在同一起点上。30年后，中俄关系取得长足发展，但不结盟、不对抗、不针对第三方的性质没有变化。而30年后的美俄关系，却滑向了“新冷战”。
谬论5：中方称“美国特别是美国军工企业是乌克兰危机最大受益者”系为转移视线。

谬论7：中国在乌克兰问题上的立场违背其一贯倡导的尊重国家主权和领土完整原则，未遵守《联合国宪章》宗旨和国际关系基本准则。
真相：中方始终遵守《联合国宪章》宗旨和原则。尊重各国主权、独立和领土完整是国际法基本原则和国际关系基本准则，适用于所有国家、所有情况。国际规则和准则犹如红绿信号灯，只有大家共同遵守，才有效，才会确保共同安全。
◆中方主张尊重包括乌克兰在内各国的主权和领土完整，主张按照《联合国宪章》宗旨和原则处理国与国争端，主张各国合理安全关切都应得到重视和解决。
◆在和平与安全问题上，中国是世界上记录最好的大国。新中国几十年来没有主动发动过对外战争，从未侵略其他国家。
◆中国对国家主权和领土完整有着真实、深刻的理解和感受，没有谁比中国政府和人民更加珍视国家主权和领土完整，坚定不移、始终如一地践行这一国际关系基本准则和《联合国宪章》原则。
近代，中国饱受列强侵略之苦，对丧权辱国的历史有着刻骨铭心的记忆。20多年前，中国驻南联盟使馆遭到以美国为首的北约轰炸，3名中国记者牺牲、多人受伤。今天，美国等国家仍然借涉疆、涉藏、涉港、台湾、人权等问题肆意干涉中国内政、破坏中国主权和安全。中国还是唯一一个由于外部势力插手迄未实现完全统一的安理会常任理事国。
◆美国如果真正尊重主权和领土完整原则，就应首先停止奉行双重标准，停止干涉中国和其他国家内政，切实尊重中国和其他国家主权和领土完整。
◆2022年2月10日，美国参议员桑德斯指出，过去200年里，美国一直在践行门罗主义，即美国作为西半球主导力量，有权干涉任何可能威胁到美利益的国家。美国已破坏和推翻了拉丁美洲和加勒比海地区至少十几个国家的政权。

◆美国建国近250年的时间里，只有不到20年没有对外发动军事行动。
2001年，美国发动持续20年的阿富汗战争，累计造成包括3万多阿富汗平民在内的17.4万人死亡，350万阿富汗人流离失所，2300万人面临极端饥饿。
2003年，美国捏造证据，公然绕开联合国安理会发动伊拉克战争。据报道，8年伊拉克战争造成超过65万伊拉克人死亡，至少510万伊难民被迫离开家园，1000万伊拉克人生活在贫困线下，占全国总人口三分之一。
美国借所谓叙利亚化武事件，对叙多次空袭。据统计，2016－2019年，美领导的联军轰炸直接致死3833人，其中半数是妇女和儿童。美所谓人道主义干涉，不仅没有停戈止乱，反而加剧了叙人道主义灾难。

谬论9：中国不支持美对俄制裁是个错误。
真相：历史和现实都已证明，制裁换不来和平与安全，只会带来“双输”或“多输”。制裁从来不是解决问题的根本有效途径，反而是“抱薪救火”，只会激化新的矛盾。对话谈判才是解决乌克兰危机的唯一出路。

◆1943年，中英美三国首脑发表《开罗宣言》，明确规定把日本窃取的中国领土，包括台湾、澎湖列岛归还中国。1945年，《波茨坦公告》重申，《开罗宣言》的条款必将实施。这些都明白无误地表明，国际社会对中国拥有台湾的领土主权不存在任何争议。
◆1971年10月，联合国大会以压倒性多数通过第2758号决议，决定恢复中华人民共和国政府在联合国的合法席位，已经从政治上、法律上和程序上彻底解决了中国在联合国的代表权问题。联合国秘书处法律事务办公室官方法律意见明确指出，“台湾作为中国的一个省没有独立地位”，“台湾当局不享有任何形式的政府地位”，使用的称谓应是“台湾，中国的省（Taiwan,Province of China）”。
◆一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报是中美关系的政治基础。1971年，美方声明，承认世界上只有一个中国，台湾是中国的一部分；今后不会有任何台湾地位未定的言论；过去没有，今后也不会支持任何“台独”运动。尼克松总统1972年访华期间，向周恩来总理确认了上述原则。
◆美方在1972年2月27日签署的《中华人民共和国和美利坚合众国联合公报》（“上海公报”）中声明，美国认识到，在台湾海峡两边的所有中国人都认为只有一个中国，台湾是中国的一部分。美国政府对这一立场不提出异议。美方确认从台湾撤出全部美国武装力量和军事设施的最终目标。在此期间，将随着这个地区紧张局势的缓和逐步减少在台湾的武装力量和军事设施。
◆美方在1978年12月16日签署的《中华人民共和国和美利坚合众国关于建立外交关系的联合公报》（“中美建交公报”）中声明，美利坚合众国承认中华人民共和国政府是中国的唯一合法政府。在此范围内，美国人民将同台湾人民保持文化、商务和其他非官方关系。美利坚合众国政府承认中国的立场，即只有一个中国，台湾是中国的一部分。
◆美方在1982年8月17日签署的《中华人民共和国和美利坚合众国联合公报》（“八一七公报”）中重申，无意侵犯中国的主权和领土完整，无意干涉中国的内政，也无意执行“两个中国”或“一中一台”政策，不寻求长期向台湾出售武器，向台湾出售的武器在性能和数量上将不超过中美建交后近几年供应的水平，将逐步减少直至最后解决。
◆中美建交后的历届美国政府都承诺遵守中美三个联合公报。但中美建交后不久，美方单方面炮制所谓“与台湾关系法”，之后又内部提出所谓“对台六项保证”，违背了美方在中美三个联合公报中所做的承诺，违反了联大2758号决议确认并为国际社会普遍遵守的一个中国原则，从一开始就是非法和无效的。
◆一段时间以来，美国在台湾问题上的言行进一步走样、变味、倒退，不断虚化掏空一个中国原则。
政治上，推出涉台法案，提升美台接触水平。2018年，美国总统特朗普签署“台湾旅行法”，鼓动美台高级官员互访。美国“2022财政年度综合支出法案”要求美行政部门在制作中国地图时将台湾与中国大陆区别开来，赤裸裸挑战一中原则。
军事上，从未停止对台军售，频繁派军舰窜行台湾海峡。1979年以来，美对台军售达107笔，甚至包括反辐射导弹、重型鱼雷、F-16V战机等进攻性武器。特朗普任内累计对台军售近200亿美元。拜登政府上台短短1年多，三度宣布对台军售。2020年，美军舰窜行台湾海峡13次，为14年最多。
国际上，助台拓展所谓“国际空间”。2021年10月，美国国务卿布林肯发表声明称，美鼓励联合国所有会员国同美一道，支持台湾积极、有意义地参与联合国体系和国际社会，还邀请台参加美主办的所谓“领导人民主峰会”，其余与会方无一不是主权国家。
◆美国现政府上台以来，多名美国会议员、前政要访台。2020年8月，时任美国卫生与公共服务部部长阿扎访台。9月，时任美国副国务卿克拉奇访台。俄乌冲突爆发后，美军前参谋长联席会议主席迈克·马伦率前高级国防和安全官员访台，美前国务卿蓬佩奥紧跟马伦脚步访台，美还策划国会众院议长佩洛西访台，安排以美国国会参议院外交关系委员会主席梅嫩德斯为首的美国会两党议员代表团访台，引发“台独”势力疯狂炒作。美方所为是对中国主权的恶意挑衅，对中国内政的粗暴干涉，将对外发出极其危险的政治信号。
◆美国的“印太战略”正在成为集团政治的代名词。从强化“五眼联盟”，到兜售“四边机制”、拼凑三边安全伙伴关系、收紧双边军事同盟，美国在亚太地区排出“五四三二”阵势，真正目的是企图搞印太版“北约”，在亚洲复制乌克兰危机。
◆美方企图在台湾问题上搞突破，无视广大联合国会员国在2758号决议中表达的共同意愿，违背了国际社会共识，是对联合国宪章宗旨和原则的损害，也是对台海和平稳定的破坏。
中国必须统一，也必然统一。中方愿以最大诚意、尽最大努力争取和平统一的前景，但如果“台独”分裂势力挑衅逼迫，甚至突破红线，中方将不得不采取断然措施。
Falsehoods Spread by the U.S. on the Ukraine Issue: A Reality Check
BEIJING, April 29 (Xinhua) -- For some time, the United States and some other countries as well as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) have been spreading disinformation about China's stance on the Ukraine situation, and making groundless accusations to attack and smear China. The falsehoods, confusing right with wrong are an attempt to mislead the world. China's position on the Ukraine issue is above board, objective and fair.
Some examples of the disinformation and the reality are presented below to help the world understand what is really going on.
Falsehood 1: A U.S. intelligence report said China told Russia that it would not prevent Russia from taking actions in Ukraine,while asking Russia not to do it before the end of the Beijing Winter Olympics. It also said that Russia has asked China for assistance including weapons and other equipment.
Reality Check: Russia is a sovereign country that independently weighs,decides and implements its foreign policy based on its own strategy and interests. There is no need to seek China's consent beforehand. In fact, U.S. officials have admitted that there is no evidence of China providing military assistance to Russia.
◆On March 14, 2022, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Russia had the potential to conduct an operation in Ukraine and had not requested assistance from other countries.

◆According to media reports, information reported by The New York Times based on an anonymous source was actually provided by a senior official for Indo-Pacific affairs on the White House National Security Council. It was fake news deliberately spread by the U.S. to discredit China, divert public attention and shift the blame.

◆According to NBC News, U.S. intelligence officers released information about the Russia-Ukraine conflict even when it wasn't "rock solid", and some assertions, such as China considering providing military help to Russia, were made up. This shows the U.S. was taking preemptive action to win the "information war" against Russia.

Falsehood 2: The joint statement issued by China and Russia on 4 February this year provides evidence of China's support for Russia on the Ukraine issue. The joint statement is a "veiled support" for Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine.
Reality Check: Last February, China issued joint statements with a number of leaders attending the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics. The U.S.'s interpretation of the China-Russia joint statement is out of context and part of a smear campaign.
◆During the Beijing Winter Olympics, many foreign leaders visited China. China issued joint statements with Kyrgyzstan, Argentina, Ecuador, Mongolia, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea and other countries to express mutual support on issues concerning each other's core interests and highlight joint efforts to uphold multilateralism.
◆In their joint statement, China and Russia call on all States to champion humanity's common values of peace, development, equity, justice, democracy and freedom, respect the rights of peoples to independently determine the development paths of their countries and the sovereignty and the security and development interests of States, to protect the United Nations-centered international system, and the international law-based international order, seek true multilateralism with the United Nations and its Security Council playing a central and coordinating role, promote more democratic international relations, and ensure peace, stability and sustainable development across the world.
◆In the joint statement, China and Russia call for the establishment of a new model of major-country relations on the basis of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, and reaffirm that the new inter-State relations between China and Russia are superior to military and political alliances of the Cold War era, and the strengthening of bilateral strategic cooperation is neither aimed against third countries nor affected by circumstantial changes in third countries or the changing international environment.
◆The China-Russia relationship features non-alliance, non-confrontation and non-targeting at any third party. It differs from the practice of the US and a small number of other Western countries that stick to Cold War thinking and a friend-or-foe dichotomy to draw ideological lines, form so-called "alliances" and "cliques" and pursue bloc politics to create confrontation and division.
Falsehood 3: China helps Russia spread disinformation that "the US owns biological weapons in Ukraine".
Reality Check: The US is doing this for the purpose of diverting public attention. According to public information, the US has conducted more bio-military activities than any other country in the world. It is also the only country that has used biological and chemical weapons in multiple wars, and the only country that opposes the establishment of a multilateral verification mechanism for the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), a public stand held by the US for more than two decades.
◆The US Department of Defense controls 336 biological laboratories in 30 countries. Inheriting the "devil's legacy" from the Unit 731, the notorious branch of the Japanese army during the war of aggression against China,the US conducted research and development of biological weapons at Fort Detrick. Despite the entry into force of the BWC in 1975, the US continued with such activities. For more than 20 years, it is the only country opposing the establishment of a multilateral verification mechanism for the BWC, claiming that "the traditional approach ... is not a workable structure for biological weapons" and "(the draft Protocol to the BWC) would put national security and confidential business information at risk". As a State Party to the BWC, the US is obliged to make clarifications on issues of concerns to the international community in accordance with Article V of the Convention.

◆In the working document submitted by the US to the meeting of the State Parties to the BWC in November 2021, the US admitted that it has 26 bio-labs in Ukraine. According to the fact sheet released by the US Department of Defense in March 2022,the US is supporting 46 facilities in Ukraine.

◆The Agreement Between the Department of Defense of the United States of America and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine Concerning Cooperation in the Area of Prevention of Proliferation of Technology, Pathogens and Expertise that could be Used in the Development of Biological Weapons signed by the two countries on 29 August 2005 clearly stipulates that the US Department of Defense representatives shall have the right to participate in all related activities at facilities in Ukraine; all dangerous pathogens in Ukraine shall be stored at designated laboratories; Ukraine shall share with the US data generated by the relevant surveillance network, transfer to the US side requested copies of dangerous pathogen strains, and withhold information designated by the US side as "sensitive" from public disclosure.

◆On March 8, 2022, US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland admitted at a Senate hearing that "Ukraine has biological research facilities, which, in fact, we are now quite concerned Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of, so we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydSf57SRtcQ
◆On March 10, 2022, Tucker Carlson, Fox News Channel host, said that the US government is funding secret bio-labs in Ukraine to conduct research on dangerous pathogens. According to him, the US government has repeatedly denied the claim, calling it Russian disinformation, and the American people have been lied to. But the US government official in charge of Ukraine has confirmed that the information about US funding bio-labs in Ukraine is simply true.
https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/tucker-the-pentagon-is-lying-about-bio-labs-in-ukraine
◆On March 18, 2022, Bulgarian journalist Dilyana Gaytandzhieva released an "investigative material" on US-Ukraine cooperation, revealing a substantial amount of details of biological research cooperation between the two countries. For example, the Ukrainian government is prohibited from public disclosure of sensitive information about the Pentagon's program for bio-labs; the Pentagon has been granted access to certain state secrets of Ukraine in connection with the projects under their agreement; and Ukraine is obliged to transfer to the US Department of Defense dangerous pathogens for biological research.

◆William Scott Ritter, a former UN Weapons Inspector in Iraq and former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, said in an interview that "There is an absolute requirement for stringent confidence-building investigations into what the United States was doing (in the US-led bio labs in Ukraine), so that the world can be confident that the United States operates within the framework (of the BWC)".
https://www.news.cn/world/2022-03/31/c_1128521601.htm
◆During the Korean War, the US military conducted covert germ-warfare operations in northern DPRK and some parts of northeast China. American planes dropped virus carriers such as insects and rats infected with yersinia pestis and vibrio cholerae. During the Vietnam War, the US sprayed about 20 million gallons of defoliant (toxic chemicals such as Agent Orange) in Vietnam, killing 400,000 Vietnamese and leaving 2 million suffering from cancer and other diseases.
◆The US has spread publicly or through US-funded NGOs disinformation on the use of chemical and biological weapons by Iraq and Syria. In an interview with Al Jazeera in 2011, former US Secretary of State Colin Powell admitted before the public that Iraq's possession of chemical and biological weapons was false information. The US government has long been the main sponsor of the White Helmets, and has instructed the organization to release multiple fake videos of the Syrian government using chemical weapons.

Falsehood 4: China amplifies Russian propaganda by claiming that "the US and NATO caused the Ukraine crisis".
Reality Check: People of insight in the international community have publicly warned many times about the possible repercussions of the US continuous push for NATO's eastward expansion.
◆In 1990, then US Secretary of State James Baker, during his meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev, promised clearly that NATO will move "not one inch eastward". However, under the domination of the United States, NATO has expanded eastward five times since 1999, increased its membership from 16 to 30, and advanced more than 1,000 kilometers eastward right up to Russian borders, creating a C-shaped encirclement of the Black Sea.
◆A document disclosed by the National Archives of Great Britain showed that the US representative had promised in negotiations back then that NATO should not expand to the east either formally or unofficially.

◆Russia has for years proposed dialogue with the United States on a European Security Initiative, only to be ignored by the US side. In 2021, Russia offered multiple times to negotiate and sign a peace agreement with NATO, but was rejected by the United States and NATO.
◆The United States and NATO, while fully aware of Russia's security concerns, strengthened military assistance to Ukraine and helped it train military personnel.
According to US media reports, former US officials said that the United States has provided a large amount of advanced military training for Ukrainian elite troops and special operation forces. Since 2015, the CIA has conducted a series of intensive military training in Ukraine involving guns, land navigation and camouflage techniques. The program, which began under President Obama, was expanded under President Trump and further enlarged under the Biden administration.
According to Canadian media reports, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has spent more than 890 million US dollars on training Ukrainian soldiers since 2014, including more than 30,000 Ukrainian troops trained in Zolochiv between February 2019 and February 2022.

◆The CIA has long been training members of the "Azov Battalion" in a secret place in southern United States. Since 2014, the United States and Ukraine have consistently voted against draft resolutions on combating "neo-Nazism" at the United Nations. In 2015, the House of Representatives of the US Congress lifted the ban on funding the "Azov Battalion" and provided a large amount of military assistance to Ukraine. A report released in 2018 by the Atlantic Council, a US think tank,said that the "Azov Battalion" was among the recipients of weapons and equipment provided by the United States to Ukraine.
◆Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said in an op-ed published in The Washington Post in 2014 that "far too often the Ukrainian issue is posed as a showdown: whether Ukraine joins the East or the West. But if Ukraine is to survive and thrive, it must not be either side's outpost against the other - it should function as a bridge between them."

◆John Mearsheimer, an American political scientist, pointed out that "the West bears primary responsibility of what is happening today. It was largely a result of a decision in April 2006 to make Ukraine and to make Georgia part of NATO". He said, "Here I'm talking about the West, we took a stick and we poke the bear in the eye ... and that bear is not going to smile and laugh at what you are doing. That bear is probably going to fight back, and that's exactly what's happening here."

◆In an New York Times article on February 21, 2022, Thomas Friedman pointed out that the United States and NATO were not innocent bystanders in the Ukraine crisis, and that the decision of the United States on NATO expansion has added a "huge log" to the conflict in Ukraine.

◆In a speech on February 28, 2022, US Senator Bernie Sanders cited the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis as an example, saying that the Kennedy administration considered the Soviet Union's deployment of missiles in Cuba 90 miles from the US coast to be an unacceptable threat to US national security. He questioned if anyone really believe that the United States would not have something to say if Mexico, Cuba, or any country in Central or Latin America want to form a military alliance with a US adversary, and that members of Congress would stand up and say, 'well, you know, Mexico is an independent country, and they have the right to do anything they want'"?

◆Francis Boyle, a professor of international law at the University of Illinois in the United States, said that the fundamental problem of the Russia-Ukraine conflict lies in the constant eastward expansion of the US-led NATO.

◆In 1992 when then Russian President Boris Yeltsin paid his first visits to China and the United States following the Soviet disintegration, the countries agreed not to regard each other as adversaries, which basically put Russia's bilateral relations with China and the United States on the same level. Over the past thirty years, the China-Russia relationship has made great progress, but it is still based on non-alliance, non-confrontation, and non-targeting of third countries. At the same time, US-Russia relations are sliding into a new Cold War.
Falsehood 5: China is trying to deflect attention by claiming that "the United States, especially US defense contractors, are the biggest beneficiary of the Ukraine crisis" .
Reality Check: It is an indisputable fact that the US military enterprises have raked in huge profits since the Russia-Ukraine conflict started.

Falsehood 7: China's position on Ukraine runs counter to its long-standing commitment to the principle of respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity, and is in contrary to the purposes of the UN Charter and basic norms governing international relations.
Reality check: China has all along followed the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. Respect for the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all countries is a basic principle of international law and a basic norm governing international relations, which applies to all countries under all circumstances. International rules and norms are like traffic lights -- they are only effective when everyone abides by them, and only then can common security be ensured.
◆China is of the view that sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, including Ukraine, should be respected, that disputes between countries should be handled in accordance with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and that legitimate security concerns of all countries should be taken seriously and earnestly addressed.
◆China's track record on peace and security is better than any other major country. Since its founding decades ago, the People's Republic of China has never initiated any single war against others or invaded other countries.
◆China feels deeply and strongly about sovereignty and territorial integrity. No one cherishes sovereignty and territorial integrity more than the Chinese government and people; and no one follows this basic norm governing international relations and principle enshrined in the UN Charter more unswervingly and consistently than us.
In modern times, China suffered deeply from aggression by foreign powers and has painful memories of the past humiliations. About 20 years ago, the Chinese Embassy in Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was bombed by the US-led NATO forces, leaving three Chinese journalists killed and many others injured. Even today, the United States and some other countries are still arbitrarily interfering in China's internal affairs and undermining China's sovereignty and security under the pretext of issues related to Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan and human rights. Due to external interference, China is the only P5 member that has not yet achieved complete reunification.
◆If the United States truly respects the principle of sovereignty and territorial integrity, it should first stop applying double standards, stop interfering in the internal affairs of China and other countries, and earnestly respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China and other countries.
◆On February 10, 2022, US Senator Bernie Sanders pointed out that for the last 200 years the United States has operated under the Monroe Doctrine, embracing the premise that as the dominant power in the Western Hemisphere, it has the right to intervene against any country that might threaten its alleged interests. Under this doctrine the United States has undermined and overthrown at least a dozen governments in Latin America and the Caribbean.
◆In 2018, then US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called the Monroe Doctrine "as relevant today as it was the day it was written" .

◆Over its nearly 250 years of history, there has only been less then 20 years when the United States was not waging military operations against others.
The 20-year-long war in Afghanistan launched by the United States in 2001 has killed 174,000 people including more than 30,000 Afghan civilians, displaced 3.5 million Afghan people, and left 23 million in acute hunger.
In 2003, using fabricated evidence and blatantly bypassing the UN Security Council, the United States launched the war in Iraq. It is reported that the eight-year Iraq war has killed more than 650,000 Iraqi people, displaced at least 5.1 million Iraqi refugees, and left 10 million Iraqis, which is about one third of the country's population, living below the poverty line.
The United States has carried out multiple air strikes against Syria over an alleged chemical weapon incident. Statistics show that 3,833 people were directly killed in the bombings by the US-led coalition between 2016 and 2019, half of them women and children. Instead of putting an end to conflicts and chaos, the so-called humanitarian intervention of the United States has only exacerbated humanitarian disasters in Syria.

Falsehood 8: By not supporting the vote to condemn Russia at the UN General Assembly, China is standing on the wrong side of history.
Reality check: Most of the countries in the world including China and other developing countries have legitimate concerns and share similar positions on Ukraine. Most countries disapprove of addressing disputes through wars and sanctions.
◆In recent communication with China, leaders and foreign ministers of countries including France, Germany, Indonesia, South Africa, Cambodia, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Pakistan, Zambia, Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India, Switzerland and Myanmar have all expressed support that the Ukraine crisis should be resolved through dialogue for peace.
◆On March 2, 2022, when the UN General Assembly voted on the draft resolution titled "Aggression against Ukraine" sponsored by Ukraine and a number of countries, countries who voted in favor have a combined population of 3.3 billion, less than half of the world total. An analysis by Der Spiegel, a German weekly magazine, suggests that while the result may seem clear on a country-by-country basis, it was surprising in another perspective: countries that abstained, which included India and South Africa, represent a combined population of more than four billion, and some of the countries who did vote yes have refused to join Western sanctions.

Falsehood 9: It is a mistake for China not to support US sanctions against Russia.
Reality Check: Both history and reality have proved that instead of bringing peace and security, sanctions would only lead to a lose-lose or no-win situation. Sanctions are never a fundamental or effective solution to problems. On the contrary, imposing sanctions is like "putting out fire with firewood", and will only make things worse. Dialogue and negotiation is the only way for resolving the Ukraine crisis.
◆Of the 233 sovereign states and regions in the world, 185 have not participated in the sanctions against Russia. More than 140 of the 190-odd UN member states, including Turkey, a NATO member, have not joined such sanctions. BRICS countries, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization member states and observer states, and OPEC members are all opposed to the sanctions against Russia initiated by the United States and some other NATO countries.

◆According to an article titled "The Messy Middle" published by the New York Times, most Western countries' support for Ukraine, including sending weapons and imposing sanctions on Russia, could give the impression of a united global response to Russia's military operation. But that isn't the case. Most of the world's countries, including many "democracies", have not shipped aid to Ukraine or joined in sanctions, occupying the middle ground.

Energy prices in Europe are at record highs, with electricity, heating and transport bills rising in many countries, as well as the prices of food and some daily necessities. According to German media, the current situation in Europe is very similar to the oil crisis in the 1970s, as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has led to soaring oil prices and a high risk of inflation and economic recession.

Data released on April 8 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations suggests that the global food price registered a giant leap in March due to the conflict in Ukraine, up by 12.6 percent from February, reaching a new high. The fighting has left much of Ukraine's arable land uncultivated. In April, spring plowing started in only 30 to 50 percent of the planned area, which means 50 million tons of global grain supplies will be affected.

Falsehood 10: The Russia-Ukraine conflict is "democracy vs autocracy".
Reality Check: The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a geopolitical rivalry caused by the Cold War mentality. The "democracy vs autocracy" narrative produced by the United States on the Russia-Ukraine conflict is a perfect example of its Cold War mentality.
◆On April 1, 2022, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore said during his dialogue with the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board that "on US-China, it is one of the things which will be complicated by Ukraine. America asks why China does not stand with it. You have to be very careful not to define the problem with Ukraine in such a way that automatically, China is already on the wrong side, for example, by making this a battle of democracies against autocracies".

◆ In the name of "spreading democracy", the United States promoted the "Neo-Monroe Doctrine" in Latin America, incited "color revolutions" in Eurasia, and directed from behind the scenes the "Arab Spring" in West Asia and North Africa, bringing chaos and disasters to many countries and seriously undermining world peace and stability. Now, again in the name of "democracy", the United States is actually dividing the international community, creating division, and undermining the progress toward greater democracy in international relations.
◆In May 2021, the Latana polling company of Germany and the Alliance of Democracies Foundation (founded by Anders Rasmussen, former Prime Minister of Denmark and NATO Secretary General) released a Democracy Perception Index Report 2021, which is based on a survey conducted among over 50,000 respondents in 53 countries. According to the report, 44 percent of the respondents are concerned that the United States threatens democracy in their country.
◆ Shakeel Ramay, Chief Executive Officer of the Asian Institute of Eco-civilization Research and Development, wrote that "The West has launched a campaign to show solidarity with Ukraine.

◆Winners of 91 percent of US congressional elections are candidates with greater financial support. Ordinary voters are wooed only when their votes are wanted. They are ignored once the election is over. The flaws of the electoral system are all too obvious. For instance, gerrymandering, the prevailing practice of redrawing electoral districts, undermines fairness and justice.
Falsehood 11: Ukraine today would become Taiwan tomorrow. If the Chinese mainland "pursues reunification with Taiwan by force", the United States will impose sanctions on China just as it did on Russia, and China will face severe consequences.
Reality check: The Taiwan question and the Ukraine issue are different in nature. The Taiwan question is a legacy of the Chinese civil war. Taiwan has always been an inalienable part of China's territory, and the Taiwan question is entirely China's internal affair.
◆A total of 181 countries, including the United States, have established and developed diplomatic relations with China on the basis of the one-China principle. But while stressing respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity on Ukraine, the United States has blatantly trampled on the red line of the one-China principle on the Taiwan question. This is nothing but sheer double standard.
◆In 1943, leaders of China, the United Kingdom and the United States issued the Cairo Declaration, stating clearly that all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, shall be restored to China. In 1945, the Potsdam Declaration reiterated that the terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out. All this shows unequivocally that in the international community, there is no controversy at all regarding China's territorial sovereignty over Taiwan.
◆In October 1971, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 2758 with an overwhelming majority, which decided to restore the lawful seat of the People's Republic of China at the UN. The resolution resolved the issue of China's UN representation in political, legal and procedural terms once and for all. The official legal opinions of the Office of Legal Affairs of the UN Secretariat clearly stated that "the United Nations considers 'Taiwan' as a province of China with no separate status", "authorities in Taipei are not considered to ... enjoy any form of governmental status", and that the region should be referred to as "Taiwan, Province of China".
◆The one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques constitute the political foundation of China-US relations. In 1971, the United States declared that it "acknowledges the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China", that it would not repeat the phrase that the status of Taiwan is undetermined, and that it had not supported and would not support movements for "Taiwan independence". President Richard Nixon affirmed the above principles to Premier Zhou Enlai during his visit to China in 1972.
◆In the Joint Communique of the People's Republic of China and the United States of America (the Shanghai Communique) signed on February 27, 1972, the United States declared that it "acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China. The US government does not challenge that position" and that it "affirms the ultimate objective of the withdrawal of all US forces and military installations from Taiwan. In the meantime, it will progressively reduce its forces and military installations on Taiwan as the tension in the area diminishes".
◆In the Joint Communique on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between the People's Republic of China and the United States of America (the Joint Communique on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations) signed on December 16, 1978, the United States stated that it "recognizes the government of the People's Republic of China as the sole legal government of China. Within this context, the people of the United States will maintain cultural, commercial and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan" and that "[t]he government of the United States of America acknowledges the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China".
◆In the Joint Communique between the People's Republic of China and the United States of America signed on August 17, 1982 (the August 17 Communique), the United States reiterated that "it has no intention of infringing on Chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity, or interfering in China's internal affairs, or pursuing a policy of 'two Chinas' or 'one China, one Taiwan'" and that "it does not seek to carry out a long-term policy of arms sales to Taiwan, that its arms sales to Taiwan will not exceed, either in qualitative or in quantitative terms, the level of those supplied in recent years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China, and that it intends gradually to reduce its sale of arms to Taiwan, leading, over a period of time, to a final resolution".
◆Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, successive US administrations have promised to abide by the three Sino-US joint communiques. However, not long after establishing diplomatic ties with China, the United States passed the so-called "Taiwan Relations Act", followed by an internal offer of "Six Assurances" to Taiwan, both in breach of US commitments made in the three joint communiques, and the one-China principle established by the UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 and widely observed by the international community. Hence they are illegal and void from the very beginning.
◆For some time now, the United States has been bending, changing and back-peddling on its commitment on the Taiwan question in terms of its words and deeds, trying to hollow out the one-China principle.
Politically, the United States has introduced a number of Taiwan-related acts and raised the level of engagement with Taiwan. In 2018, then US President Donald Trump signed the "Taiwan Travel Act", encouraging high-level visits between US and Taiwan officials. The "US Consolidated Appropriations Act 2022" asks the administration to distinguish Taiwan from the mainland of China when making maps of China, a flagrant challenge to the one-China principle.
Military-wise, the United States has never stopped selling arms to Taiwan, and has frequently sent warships through the Taiwan Strait. Since 1979, the United States has delivered 107 rounds of arms sales to Taiwan, including offensive weapons such as anti-radiation missiles, heavy torpedoes and F-16V fighters. Under the Trump presidency, US arms sales to Taiwan totaled nearly 20 billion US dollars. Just over a year in office, the Biden administration has announced three rounds of arms sales to Taiwan. In 2020, US warships sailed through the Taiwan Strait 13 times, the highest record in 14 years.
Internationally, the United States has worked to help Taiwan expand its so-called "international space". In October 2021, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued a statement that the United States encourages all UN members to join it in supporting Taiwan's active and meaningful participation in the UN system and the international community, and invited Taiwan to the so-called "Leaders' Summit for Democracy" hosted by the United States. All other participants to the summit were sovereign states.
◆Under the current US administration, a number of US congressmen and former political leaders have visited Taiwan. In August 2020, then US Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar visited Taiwan. In September 2020, then US Under Secretary of State Keith Krach visited Taiwan. After the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Mike Mullen, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, headed a delegation of former senior defense and security officials to Taiwan. Soon after that, former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited Taiwan. The United States also planned a visit to Taiwan by Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives. A bipartisan US congressional delegation headed by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez visited Taiwan, which triggered much media hype-up by the "Taiwan independence" forces. What the United States has done is a malicious provocation against China's sovereignty and gross interference in China's internal affairs, and will send out an extremely dangerous political signal.
◆The US "Indo-Pacific strategy" is becoming a byword for bloc politics. From strengthening the Five Eyes to peddling the Quad, from putting together AUKUS to tightening bilateral military alliances, the United States is staging a "five-four-three-two" formation in the Asia-Pacific, aiming at an Indo-Pacific version of NATO and a repeat of "Ukraine crisis" in Asia.
◆The US attempts for breakthroughs on the Taiwan question show no regard to the common will of the UN membership embodied in Resolution 2758, contravene the consensus of the international community, undermine the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and jeopardize peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
China must be reunified and will definitely be reunified. The Chinese side will strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with utmost sincerity and efforts. That said, should the "Taiwan Independence" forces make provocations, force our hands or even cross the red line, China will be compelled to take resolute measures.
