Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning responded to recent statements by US President Donald Trump, who downplayed the role of international law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In contrast, the Chinese spokesperson emphasized that it is an essential instrument for resolving disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also stressed that upholding international law is key to safeguarding international fairness and justice and preventing the world from reverting to the law of the jungle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mao pointed out that major powers must assume the responsibility of respecting the authority of international law and fulfilling the obligations it imposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chinese position comes amid growing global debates about respect for multilateralism and the international system established after World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized that the sovereignty and security of all nations must be fully protected under international law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
