'It is simply absurd and utterly unacceptable to look at China-U.S. relations from a clash-of-civilizations or even racist perspective,' a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said.
China criticized a State Department official's recent statement suggesting that the U.S needed a different approach toward Beijing's global rise because it represented a society that isn't"Caucasian."
The controversial comments stirred major backlash from a number of observers who considered Skinner's remarks racist. Asked about China's reaction on Monday, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang told reporters that"it is simply absurd and utterly unacceptable to look at China-U.S. relations from a clash-of-civilizations or even racist perspective, which deserves every harsh rebuke and resolute opposition.
Still, the remarks inspired critical op-eds in major news outlets such as The Washington Post, Bloomberg News and Foreign Policy. Speaking to Newsweek on May 2, Cheng Li, director of the Brookings Institution's John L. Thornton China Center, asserted that"our foreign policy is not based on race" and warned that such rhetoric might only alienate Chinese-Americans and bolster the message of China's ruling Communist Party.
Chen Weihua, the EU bureau chief of fellow Communist Party–owned newspaper China Daily, also criticized Skinner on Sunday, calling her words a"Nazi type racist comment" on Twitter. He said U.S. suspicion about Japan's economic rise in the 1980s and 90s "might also be based on this non Caucasian racist mindset."
