BEIJING, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) — China has called on New Zealand's Security Intelligence Service to stop spreading lies and creating contradictions, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Thursday.

Mao Ning made the remarks at a regular briefing for journalists, commenting on a report by the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service, which accused China of being the most active meddler in the country's internal affairs.

The Chinese diplomat said that in recent years, the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service has repeatedly spread rumors, groundlessly slandered and attacked China, denigrated the normal friendly exchanges between various social circles of the two countries, and created trouble for and intimidated Chinese compatriots living in New Zealand, which shows the agency's ideological bias and Cold War mentality.

“Such actions do not promote mutual trust and are contrary to the consensus of the two countries on developing cultural and humanitarian exchanges,” the official representative emphasized, adding that China expresses serious dissatisfaction and resolute protest in this regard.

"We urge the relevant New Zealand department to stop spreading lies, stop creating contradictions, and do more things that promote inter-state cultural and people-to-people exchanges and the healthy and stable development of China-New Zealand relations," Mao Ning concluded. -0-
