BEIJING, June 26 (Xinhua) — Chinese National Defense Ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang on Thursday called on the United States to form an objective and rational view of China and stop deceiving the American public and the international community.
Zhang Xiaogang made the remarks while commenting at the request of the media on recent comments by the US Secretary of Defense, in which he called China a “threat” and stressed that the deterrence the US will deploy in the Indo-Pacific region will be aimed at “achieving peace through strength.” The US also plans to strengthen the combat readiness of its armed forces in the region and enhance Taiwan’s defense capabilities.
Noting that the Taiwan issue is purely China’s internal affair and does not allow foreign interference, Zhang Xiaogang called on the US side to stop blaming China for everything and create favorable conditions for the development of relations between the two countries and their armed forces.
China’s development does not pose any threat to any country. China does not resort to containment and intimidation like some other countries, he said, noting that the Chinese military is a reliable pillar of world peace. -0-
