[Global Network Report] On the evening of Monday (23rd) Beijing time, Lin Jian, spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Director of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, posted on social media The exposure of China-related remarks in the "closed-door speech" at the Quad summit reminded the four Quad countries to "don't forget to turn off the microphone next time." In addition, Lin Jian also attached a comparison chart to the post, showing the stark differences in themes between China and the United States in recent home diplomacy.
It is understood that on September 21st and 22nd local time, the US-Japan-India-Australia "Quadrilateral Mechanism" summit was held in Wilmington, Delaware, the hometown of US President Biden. At this summit, Biden encountered a "hot microphone" (usually when the speaker did not realize that the microphone was on, so his remarks were recorded - Editor's note), which attracted widespread attention from the media and netizens. According to the Associated Press, on the 21st, after the leaders of the four quad countries gave their opening remarks in front of the media, Biden’s subsequent remarks about China were captured by a microphone that was not turned off. He claimed that China continued to behave “aggressively.” , "testing" the United States and its "Indo-Pacific" allies throughout the region.
It is worth noting that when the United States held a summit with its "Indo-Pacific" allies and reiterated the so-called "China threat theory", the 2024 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation was successfully held in early September. According to Xinhua News Agency, the summit summarized the historical experience of China-Africa friendship, clarified the direction and path of China-Africa efforts to jointly promote modernization, and led the way forward for the global South.
Against the above background, on September 23, Lin Jian published a post on x, comparing the stark differences in themes between China and the United States in their home diplomacy.

The bottom of the picture is the 2024 U.S.-Japan Summit. The scene of the "Quad" summit between India and Australia, the theme is "China! China! China!"
Regarding some of Biden's China-related remarks at the "Quad" summit between the United States, Japan, India and Australia, Lin Jian said on the 23rd The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded at the regular press conference in the afternoon. He said that the "Quadrilateral Mechanism" is positioned as the primary leadership mechanism in the region in the U.S. "Indo-Pacific Strategy" and is a tool for the United States to contain China and maintain U.S. hegemony. The "Indo-Pacific Strategy" attempts to build a consensus of excluding and containing China by hyping up the "China Threat", and the "Quadrilateral Mechanism" attempts to gather military and security cooperation on maritime-related issues, with the same intentions and methods. The United States keeps saying it is not targeting China, but the first topic at the summit was China. China was used to make trouble at the summit. This is lying with open eyes, and even the American media does not believe it.
Lin Jian said that China has always maintained that cooperation between countries cannot target third parties, let alone harm the interests of third parties. Any regional initiative must conform to the general trend of the region and promote regional peace, stability and prosperity. Putting together a closed and exclusive "small circle" undermines mutual trust and cooperation among regional countries and runs counter to the Asia-Pacific trend of seeking peace, development, cooperation and prosperity. It is doomed to not go far, let alone achieve anything.
"The United States should put down its obsession with 'maintaining hegemony and containing China', stop using regional countries as tools, stop whitewashing and beautifying various 'small circles' strategic intentions, and implement its statement of 'not seeking to strengthen alliances against China'," Rather than seeking personal gain at the expense of other countries' strategic security interests and the well-being of the Asia-Pacific people," Lin Jian said.
