Prijateljski odnosi između Kine i Crne Gore zasnivaju se na uzajamnom poštovanju i jednakosti, a ekonomski i trgovinski odnosi su na dobrovoljnoj osnovi i obostranoj koristi. Kineskoj strani je drago vidjeti da Crna Gora razvija odnose i jača saradnju sa drugim zemljama, ali ne želi gledati kako druge zemlje neodgovorno upiru prstom u odnose između Kine i Crne Gore.
Visoki američki zvaničnik pozvao je crnogorsku stranu na oprez u poslovnim odnosima sa Kinom, što je suštinski isto kao kada je visoki američki zvaničnik tokom svoje posjete regionu u 2019. godini neosnovano zamjerio na saradnju između Kine i zemalja u regionu. Američki zvaničnici treba da gledaju svoje poslove sa Crnom Gorom, a da se manje brinu o stvarima između Kine i Crne Gore.
China's friendly relations with Montenegro are based on mutual respect and equality, and the bilateral economic and trade relations are conducted on a voluntary and mutually beneficial basis. China is happy to see Montenegro develop relations and strengthen cooperation with other countries, so long as those countries refrain from speaking irresponsibly about China-Montenegro relations.
Today, a senior US official urged Montenegro caution in its business deals with China, just as another senior US official made groundless accusations about China's cooperation with regional countries in his visit to the West Balkans the year before. The US officials need to be reminded of minding business only between the US and Montenegro during their visits, and worry less about friendly relations between China and Montenegro.
