China News Service, Beijing, October 29 (Reporter Gao Kai) Wu Qian, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense of China, said in Beijing on the 29th that the so-called U.S. alliance system is a product of the Cold War period and reflects the outdated Cold War mentality and you lose me. China has always firmly opposed the concept of a zero-sum game of winning.

　　At the regular press conference of the Ministry of National Defense that day, a reporter asked: This week, the United States and India held the third "2+2" ministerial dialogue in New Delhi.

Some commentators said that this move is intended to respond to the "China threat."

The Secretary of Defense of the United States also advocated the strength of the U.S. alliance system in his speech and criticized China and Russia.

Does the spokesperson have any comments?

　　Regarding this, Wu Qian said: "We have taken note of relevant reports. We believe that the development of US-Indian relations should help maintain regional peace and stability and should not be targeted at any other country."

　　Wu Qian pointed out that the so-called U.S. alliance system is a product of the Cold War period, which embodies the outdated Cold War mentality and the zero-sum game concept of losing or losing. China has always firmly opposed this.

The world today has entered a new era of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win. It is simply not feasible to pursue our own absolute security while ignoring the security concerns of other countries.

　　There were also questions from reporters that day: According to media reports, US Secretary of Defense Esper recently stated that “China and Russia have become close to evenly matched opponents of the United States.” The United States especially needs sufficient budget to deal with challenges from China.

Esper also requires that half of the courses at the American Defense University must be about China.

Do you have any comments on this?

　　Wu Qian said that relevant US remarks are full of Cold War mentality and the concept of zero-sum game, and we firmly oppose this.

　　He pointed out that in recent years, using China to speak out and exaggerate the so-called "China threat" has become a clumsy excuse for the US defense department to fight for the defense budget. China has repeatedly refuted this.

As for the so-called "evenly matched", China has a clear understanding of the level of its own construction and development, and any practice that deceives China and deceives the international community will not succeed.
