Vilifying China's path and system doom to fail, Foreign Ministry says

Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Friday any attempt to vilify China's path and system is doomed to fail.

His remarks came as John Moolenaar, chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, said in an interview on Thursday that the US' recent measures were with the aim of pushing back against the "aggression of the Chinese Communist Party". "The US politician's remarks reek of ideological bias and Cold War zero-sum mentality," Lin said at a daily news briefing.

"Any attempts to smear and attack the Communist Party of China, vilify China's path and system, and stoke division and hostility between the CPC and the Chinese people are delusional and presumptuous," he said.

They will only meet the firm opposition of over 1.4 billion Chinese people and are doomed to failure, he added.
