China's foreign ministry has refuted claims of a 'China threat' in response to NATO negotiations with the U.S. concerning Greenland. According to a statement on Thursday, the discussions aim to prevent Russia and China from establishing a presence on the island.

Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the ministry, criticized the allegations, stating that China opposes the fabricated notion of a threat used for selfish motives. He emphasized that these claims are groundless and serve only to create unnecessary issues.

China's rebuttal is in line with its ongoing stance against narratives positioning it as a threat on global issues, particularly when it comes to strategic locations such as Greenland.
