Rubio's remarks slammed as fallacies

China has voiced strong dissatisfaction and resolute objection to recent comments by United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio, accusing him of "spreading fallacies based on the Cold War mentality".

Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Monday Beijing has made solemn representations to Washington in this regard.

In a recent interview with US media, Rubio made accusations against China over topics such as Taiwan, the economy and trade, the COVID-19 pandemic and the "Indo-Pacific" strategy.
