BEIJING, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) — China opposes making groundless accusations and using China as a pretext to pursue its own selfish interests, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said Thursday, commenting on the latest developments around Greenland.

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that talks with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte had produced a "framework for a future deal" on Greenland and the wider Arctic region.

"The so-called Chinese threat is completely groundless," Guo Jiakun noted. -0-
