The assessment is based on two consistent, highly authoritative, and highly relevant primary sources. An official press release from China's State Council Information Office and a press conference transcript from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs both directly confirm the event. The press release explicitly quotes the Foreign Ministry spokesperson urging the U.S. to stop using the 'China threat' narrative in relation to Greenland. The press conference transcript corroborates that an official spokesperson made these remarks in response to a question about Greenland. A third source was provided but was deemed irrelevant as its summary indicated it did not pertain to the specific statement in question. The evidence from the relevant sources is direct, non-contradictory, and originates from official Chinese government bodies, making it highly credible in confirming a statement made by that government.
