China’s Subtle Jab at U.S. Politics—What They Said About Walz’s VP Run

Daniel Kim Views  

Yonhap News

In response to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s nomination as the Democratic vice presidential candidate, the Chinese government has emphasized the importance of maintaining stable relations between the two countries.

Mao Ning, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, addressed questions about how Walz’s background might impact bilateral relations. She stated, “The U.S. presidential election is a domestic matter, and China will not comment on it.”

She added that China hopes the U.S. will guide the China-U.S. relationship towards a stable, healthy, and sustainable direction based on mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and cooperation for mutual benefit, benefiting both countries and the world.

China has consistently responded to questions about U.S. presidential candidates by stating that it has always opposed using China as a pretext in the election.

After teaching in China for a year, Walz became a high school teacher through an exchange program at Harvard University.

Regarding the conviction of Shujun Wang, a 75-year-old Chinese-American scholar who has advocated for China’s democratization while living in the U.S., on charges of being a Chinese spy by a U.S. court, Mao said, “I am not aware of the situation you mentioned,” avoiding a direct answer.
