On September 18, the Chinese Embassy in Mexico issued a solemn statement: On September 15, on the eve of Mexico's Independence Day, the US Embassy in Mexico posted a post on social media platforms saying that the fireworks used by Mexico for celebrations were “not made in Mexico,” ridiculed Mexico's National Day with “long live Mexico, made in China” and used the opportunity to discredit Sino-Mexican economic and trade cooperation. On the most solemn National Day anniversary of the host country, the embassy of one country did not wish to congratulate it; instead, it used the holiday as an article to attack a third country. This move violates the most basic diplomatic etiquette, and it also lacks a minimum of respect for the Mexican people. The Chinese Embassy in Mexico expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this. A country's Independence Day belongs to the people of that country. The people themselves decide how to celebrate and what to celebrate. “Made in China” is nothing new in Mexico. More than 400 years ago, “Chinese ships” allowed Oriental silk porcelain and Mexican silver to flow between the two sides of the Pacific. Behind the exchange of goods was civilized exchange and mutual learning. Today, Chinese products have entered the Mexican market, and Mexican avocados and tequila have also entered thousands of Chinese households. Close trade ties are a vivid manifestation of globalization. A sovereign and independent country has the right to choose its own partners. Sino-Mexican cooperation has no geographical calculation, does not target third parties, and should not be interfered with by third parties. The US Embassy uses the holidays in the country it is stationed in as a stage for attacking third countries and as a bargaining chip for geopolitical games, pointing fingers at other countries, but our exclusive hegemonic mentality has been revealed. The international community can clearly see such practices. Many netizens asked the US why it should “spray venom” on other people's holidays. We urge the US Embassy in Mexico to spend more of its energy on respecting the host country and enhancing friendship between the two peoples, rather than inciting dissension and manipulating right and wrong. This kind of performance can't fool anyone; it just takes a stone and hits yourself in the foot.
