Director Zhou said sarcastically, "If the Chinese authorities really were to do such a thing, I'm afraid the international community would undoubtedly whip up another wave of negative hysteria against China. Wouldn't you agree?"
Just as many reporters were still eager to continue asking questions, Director Zhou checked the time.
"Today's press conference time is up," he stated. "The Q&A ends here! Regarding the Tong Zhen incident mentioned by the US authorities during their press conference, as long as the US authorities can produce conclusive evidence, the Chinese authorities will undoubtedly cooperate with them in conducting investigations. However, if there is no substantive evidence, I hope the US authorities will put an end to such baseless claims. At the same time, I advise the US side not to harbor any thoughts of fabricating evidence! In today's China, it is utterly impossible—and even less permissible—for the 'Yinhe Incident' of the past to ever happen again. Absolutely not!"
