At the beginning of the year, the two sides also held a working meeting of the Ministry of National Defense.

China is firmly opposed to this.

Ren Guoqiang emphasized that China hopes that the United States and China will work together to implement the consensus of the two heads of state, strengthen strategic communication on the basis of mutual respect, properly manage differences, promote pragmatic cooperation, and promote the development of relations between the two armed forces on the right track .

Recently, It is only 400 meters away from the Chinese ship. The US side's dangerous operations are extremely unstandard, extremely unprofessional, and extremely unsafe.

Ren Guoqiang pointed out that for a long time, the United States has conducted near-field reconnaissance in the air and sea areas facing China, and has conducted close-range, long-term follow-up surveillance and interference with Chinese warplanes, and has even caused dangerous approaches and urgency. This provocative behavior by the United States undermines China's security interests and endangers the safety of both navy aircraft and frontline officers and soldiers. It is the destruction and abuse of the freedom of navigation system in international law and the source of China-US maritime security issues. But the US side not only turned a blind eye to this, ignored it, but often the wicked sue first, making false statements, and turning right and wrong.

Ren Guoqiang emphasized that China resolutely opposes this and asks the United States to stop taking similarly provocative and dangerous actions and stop discrediting China so as not to damage the overall relationship between the two countries and the two armed forces.

The U.S. ship broke into China's territorial waters without permission and seriously violated China's sovereignty and security. The Chinese army will take all necessary measures to firmly defend national sovereignty and security.

Ren Guoqiang emphasized that with the joint efforts of China and ASEAN countries, the situation in the South China Sea continues to develop. The United States has repeatedly dispatched warships and warplanes to conduct targeted and provocative joint exercises and strategic cruises in the South China Sea, ramming under the guise of "freedom of navigation", threatening national security along the South China Sea, undermining peace and stability in the South China Sea, and China is firmly opposed to this.

Ren Guoqiang pointed out that for a long time, the United States violated international law and the basic norms of international relations, and implemented large-scale, organized, undifferentiated network theft, monitoring, and attacks on foreign governments, enterprises, and individuals. It is a recognized recidivist in the international community. From "WikiLeaks", "Snowden Incident", "Swiss Encryption Incident" to the related 360 company report, the facts have repeatedly proven that the United States is the world's largest stealer on the issue of network security.

It is extremely dangerous.
