I think that's just the polite way of putting a demand. The fact it's the Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman saying it basically means she's saying "I'm giving you one chance to retract that racist bullshit"
Oh so this person specifically reacting to it is what makes it a big deal? I’m never sure if Chinese officials are actually high level or if western media just finds the equivalent of a local council person and attributes their comment to the will of the entire nation lol
she's deputy to the minister of foreign affairs and is an official diplomat as well as the official spokesperson of the Chinese ministry of foreign affairs therefore what she says can be assumed to be the official position of the Chinese state here
