BEIJING, Jan 22 — China’s foreign ministry said on Thursday that “the so-called China threat” was groundless in response to Nato saying negotiations on Greenland with the US are aimed at ensuring Russia and China never gain a foothold in the island.
“China opposes the practice of creating something out of nothing and using China as an excuse for selfish gain,” Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the ministry, said at a press briefing. — Reuters
