News 1 Korea: White House said in a statement following Presidents Lee Jae-myung's election that the ROK holds free election while the US is concerned about China's interference in global diplomacies. What is your comment?
Lin Jian: We noticed this. China follows the principle of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs. We have never interfered with other countries' internal affairs and will not do so. China is not a mirror image of the US. The US should stop speculating what China will do based on its own behavior and stop sewing discord between China and ROK.

News 1 Korea: Today, the White House congratulated Lee Jae-myung on winning the presidency, and expressed its concern over China’s interference and influence in democracies around the world. What’s China’s take on this?
Lin Jian: We saw that statement. China always follows the principle of non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs, and has never and will never interfere in the internal affairs of any country. We urge the U.S. to change the habit of assuming that China would act in the way that the U.S. does, and stop trying to sow discord between China and the ROK.
