In response to the recent frequent activities of the US military around China and other situations, major colonel Wu Qian, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, said at a regular press conference that the US side has recently increased its pressure on China by provoking China, our attitude towards this is clear and unequivocal: one is to oppose it, and the other is not to be afraid. Before the election, some politicians on the US side, for their own self-interest, made great efforts to damage the military relations between China and the US, and even attempted to create unexpected incidents and military conflicts. Such acts put the lives of frontline officers and soldiers of both sides at risk, it is extremely unpopular to ignore the fundamental interests of the two peoples and the peaceful aspirations of the peoples of the world. The Chinese military will firmly safeguard China’s sovereignty, security and development interests and firmly safeguard world and regional peace and stability. We urge some US politicians to recognize the reality, remain rational, stop provocations and push the bilateral military-to-military relationship back on the right track.
