Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin said China opposes "coercive diplomacy," during a press conference on Friday, commenting on news that the US urged Nepal to endorse the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) by February 28.

China welcomes the international community to cooperate with Nepal, contribute to Nepal's economic development and livelihood improvement, but this should be done based on Nepalese people's willingness without political conditions, Wang said.
