BEIJING, May 23 (Xinhua) — Education cooperation between China and the United States is mutually beneficial, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Friday, stressing that China always opposes the politicization of cooperation in education.
The Chinese diplomat made the remarks at a regular press conference, responding to a question about the Trump administration’s decision to stop Harvard University from accepting foreign students.
Mao Ning noted that such actions by the American side damage the image and international reputation of the United States itself. China will firmly protect the legitimate rights and interests of its students and scholars abroad, she added.
The Foreign Ministry spokeswoman reiterated that China opposes groundless accusations, attacks and smear campaigns against it, calling on Washington to lift illegal sanctions against China as soon as possible. -0-
