In response to recent comments by US President Donald Trump regarding Greenland, China has reiterated its firm commitment to the principles outlined in the United Nations Charter. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian addressed the issue during a press briefing on Wednesday, stressing the importance of respecting international norms in state-to-state relations.

"On the issue of Greenland, China always believes that relations between countries should be handled in accordance with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter," Lin stated.

Trump, during his address to Congress on Tuesday, expressed support for Greenland's right to self-determination and suggested that the US was prepared to integrate the territory into its own borders. He insisted that this outcome would be pursued regardless of opposition. In December 2024, Trump had previously described US ownership of Greenland as "an absolute necessity."

Greenland, which was a Danish colony until 1953, remains part of the Kingdom of Denmark but has enjoyed self-governing autonomy since 2009. This allows the territory to make independent decisions on domestic policies while Denmark retains control over foreign affairs and defense. 

A poll revealed on January 31 that nearly half of Danes view the US as a significant threat to their country, with a strong majority opposing Greenland's potential departure to become part of the US.
