While answering a question, the spokesperson said in July 2018 and January 2020, the U.S. side opened China's diplomatic pouches twice without permission, which was a flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, and a grave infringement on China's diplomatic dignity and security interests.
After these incidents happened, the Chinese diplomatic mission in the United State immediately made solemn representations to the U.S. side. The U.S. side did not deny the relevant facts, but repeatedly used technical reasons as an excuse to shirk responsibility for its wrong acts, according to the spokesperson.
"What the U.S. has done runs counter to international law and norms governing international relations and should be condemned," he said.
Wang also responded to a question on the U.S. accusation that, with "false identities," China's consul general in Houston and two other diplomats escorted Chinese travelers aboard a charter flight at the Houston airport gate area.
Wang said the personal information of staff working at Chinese diplomatic missions is open and transparent to the U.S. side, and Chinese consular officers entered the restricted area of the airport with approval from the U.S. side.
"Using identity documents of consular officers issued by the U.S. State Department, they simply took care of Chinese citizens boarding temporary flights," Wang said, stressing that this is reasonable and legitimate with many precedents.
