Resolutely oppose the strengthening of the US and Australia's military presence in the South China Sea
According to reports, the U.S. military has recently conducted frequent military activities in the sea and air surrounding China. U.S. warships have been training in the South China Sea for several days in a row, and they have also conducted military exercises with the Australian Navy in the South China Sea. In this regard, Wu Qian pointed out that we maintain close attention and high vigilance on the movements of the US and Australian troops. For some time, countries outside the region such as the United States and Australia have frequently carried out military activities in the South China Sea and strengthened their military presence. This approach is not conducive to the security and stability of the South China Sea. We are firmly opposed to this.
Wu Qian said that facts have repeatedly proven that the US is the biggest promoter of militarization in the South China Sea and a troublemaker for regional peace and stability. The Chinese People's Liberation Army has always maintained a high degree of vigilance, resolutely defended national sovereignty, security and development interests, and resolutely maintained regional peace, stability and prosperity.
