China has accused the US of attempting to undermine its relations with Greece.

Responding to remarks by US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, who publicly urged Athens to consider ways to diminish Chinese influence, including selling the Chinese-operated Port of Piraeus, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Athens said in a statement on the US social media company X’s platform that “this constitutes malicious defamation of the normal Sino-Greek commercial cooperation and a serious interference in Greece's internal affairs.”

Emphasizing China’s “strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition,” the statement added: “These statements, permeated with a Cold War mentality and hegemonic logic, contravene the fundamental professional ethics of a diplomat and fully reveal the insidious intent of the United States to serve its own geopolitical interests by exploiting the Port of Piraeus and even Greece itself.”
