FILE PHOTO: A general view of the Chinese Embassy in London, Britain, Oct 24, 2019. SHANGHAI: British politicians are twisting facts in order to undermine bilateral ties with Beijing, China's embassy in London said on Saturday in response to new claims that Beijing is pursuing a more aggressive diplomatic strategy.
A spokesman for the embassy was commenting on a report in the Times newspaper that Beijing had raised its diplomatic presence in Britain by nearly a quarter in the past 10 years in a bid to boost its political influence.
Chinese diplomats in Britain are"serving as a bridge" between the two countries and promote mutually beneficial cooperation, he said. They deserve a fair assessment"rather than distortion and accusation". Responding to the charge that Beijing was taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic to pursue its"wolf warrior" diplomatic agenda, the spokesman said Chinese diplomats had a duty to tell the real story"in the face of misinterpretations, misunderstandings and even deliberate slanders".
"Wolf warrior" diplomacy is the name given to a more aggressive approach to international relations by China's foreign representatives, with many now using social media to push back against international criticism.
