The client of Chinanews.com, June 24, the Ministry of Defense held a regular press conference.

  【Wei Fenghe went to Russia to attend the military parade to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet Patriotic War】

  At the meeting, Wu Qian released news that at the invitation of Russian Defense Minister Shoigu, State Councilor and Defense Minister Wei Fenghe went to Russia from June 23 to 25 to attend a military parade to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet Patriotic War.

  Wu Qian said that at this critical moment in the global fight against epidemic disease, this visit will further deepen the mutual trust and cooperation between the Chinese and Russian armed forces, and promote the in-depth development of a comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation between China and Russia in the new era. At the same time, the Chinese army also sent a team of honor guards to Russia to participate in the military parade.

[The Sino-Indian border conflict occurs on the Chinese side and the responsibility is entirely on the Indian side]

  Regarding the incident of "serious conflict between the Chinese and Indian border guards in the Galle Valley", Wu Qian pointed out that the incident was entirely caused by India’s breach of consensus and unilateral provocation, and it was entirely on the actual control line approved by both sides. What happens on one side is entirely the responsibility of the Indian side. The Chinese side requires the Indian side to severely punish the perpetrators and strictly control the frontline troops to ensure that such incidents will not happen again.

  Wu Qian said that China has sovereignty over the Calvin Valley. For many years, Chinese border guards have been patrolling and performing their duties here. Since April this year, the Indian border defense forces have unilaterally built facilities in the region, and China has repeatedly made representations and protests on this. In the early hours of May 6, the Indian border guards crossed the line and entered the Chinese territory to construct barriers, blocking the normal patrol of the Chinese border guards and attempting to unilaterally change the status of border control. The Chinese border defense force had to take necessary measures to strengthen on-site response and control of the border area. Under the vigorous promotion of China, the two sides have communicated through multiple channels. On June 6, the border defense forces of the two countries held their first military-level meeting. The two sides agreed to take practical measures to ease the situation in the border areas. The Indian side promised not to patrol and build facilities at the mouth of the Galewan River, and the two sides agreed to withdraw the troops in batches through a meeting of local commanders. But what is shocking is that on the evening of June 15th, the Indian front-line frontier troops openly violated the consensus reached by the two sides, turned their backs, and once again crossed the actual control line to deliberately provoke China. While negotiating on the spot, Chinese officers and soldiers were suddenly violently attacked by the Indian side. This triggered intense physical clashes between officers and soldiers on both sides, resulting in casualties. The Chinese frontier defense force has taken defensive measures decisively and resolutely responded to the violent acts of the Indian side, effectively safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

  Wu Qian pointed out that after the conflict, China and India conducted communication and coordination through military and diplomatic channels. The foreign ministers of the two countries held telephone conversations to reach an agreement on the just handling of the conflict in the Gallevan Valley and the cooling of the situation there. The two defense ministers are in talks on the phone. The two sides held their second military-level meeting on June 22 to exchange in-depth views on controlling tensions and maintaining peace and stability in the border areas.

  Wu Qian emphasized that China and India are important neighbors to each other, and maintaining peace and tranquility in the border areas is in the common interests of both parties and requires the joint efforts of both parties. "We hope that India and China will meet each other, effectively implement the important consensus between the leaders of the two countries, strictly abide by the agreement reached by the two sides, continue to properly resolve relevant issues through dialogue and negotiation at all levels, and work together to ease the situation in the border areas and maintain the border areas. Make positive efforts for peace and stability."

[Tibet Military Region held comprehensive exercises in high-altitude areas]

  Wu Qian said that in recent days, the Tibet Military Region held a joint drill group three-dimensional pull-out and multi-type equipment live ammunition comprehensive exercise in a high-altitude area to comprehensively test the joint combat capability of the troops in the plateau environment.

  "The above exercises are routine arrangements within the annual training plan and do not target any specific country." Wu Qian said.

  [The whole army is focusing on training and preparing for combat under normal epidemic prevention and control conditions]

  Wu Qian pointed out that since the outbreak of the epidemic, the entire army has taken the epidemic challenge as a special training opportunity, grasping the preparation of the military on one hand and the prevention and control of the epidemic on the other. One is to strengthen the overall military training and coordination under the conditions of the epidemic. The second is to focus on emergency response training under epidemic conditions. The third is to innovate the military training mode under the conditions of epidemic situation. The fourth is to actively prevent and control training risks under epidemic conditions.

[US wants to endanger China's sovereignty by "cutting sausage" is delusional]

  A reporter mentioned that the US and Taiwan have interacted frequently since this month. For the first time, a US military transport plane passed over the Taiwan Island, and the US destroyer passed through the Taiwan Strait again. US Defense Minister Esper also tweeted that the United States will continue to maintain its commitment to democratic Taiwan.

  Wu Qian responded by saying that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. Taiwan affairs are purely China’s internal affairs, and no foreign interference is allowed.

  "The US side frequently plays the Taiwanese card and wants to harm China's sovereignty and territorial integrity by'cutting sausages'. This is completely delusional. The PLA has always maintained a high degree of vigilance and has a firm will, full confidence and sufficient ability to maintain national sovereignty. And territorial integrity and maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait." Wu Qian said.

[U.S. politicians play tricks on the right and wrong, China will not cure the "illness" of the US side]

  Recently, US Defense Secretary Esper said that China’s actions in the East China Sea and South China Sea have brought instability to the Indo-Pacific region. The United States will work with regional allies to confront China trying to "weaken the sovereignty of other countries and undermine international rules." Esper also claimed that China attempted to use the new crown virus to spread chaos and blame other countries. In this regard, Wu Qian said that recently, leaders of the US defense department have ignored the facts, rendered the so-called "China threat", provoked regional state relations, and stigmatized China's anti-epidemic efforts. "We express strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this. "

  Wu Qian pointed out that with the joint efforts of regional countries, the situation in the East China Sea and the South China Sea is generally stable. This fully shows that the countries in the region have the wisdom, ability, and means to negotiate through direct negotiations and consultations, settle differences, and protect peace together. On the other hand, the United States, as a country outside the region, under the guise of the so-called "freedom of navigation", sent military warships to provoke the East China Sea and the South China Sea, conducted high-frequency approach reconnaissance against China, held highly targeted military exercises, and seriously endangered regional countries. China’s sovereignty and security interests have seriously undermined regional peace and stability. "For the big hat of "weakening the sovereignty of other countries and undermining international rules", we repay it originally, and I believe that the United States is truly worthy of its name."

  "Some politicians in the United States manipulated right and wrong, reversed black and white, and slandered and discredited China in an attempt to use this to pass on domestic conflicts and shirk responsibility for weak epidemic resistance. ." Wu Qian emphasized.

  Wu Qian said that both China and the United States are important countries in the world. Cooperation between the two countries is beneficial to both sides, and fighting will hurt both sides. Cooperation is the only correct choice for both parties. Sino-US military relations are an important part of bilateral relations. Maintaining the overall stability of the relations between the two armed forces is the interest of China and the United States, the responsibility of the military personnel of the two countries, and the aspirations of the international community. "We hope that the United States and China will move in the same direction, grasp the general direction of no conflict, no confrontation, mutual respect, and win-win cooperation, strengthen strategic communication, deepen pragmatic cooperation, properly manage differences, and promote China with coordination, cooperation, and stability as the keynote. Positive factors are added to US relations."

  [ Resolutely opposed to the US deployment in the Asia-Pacific region, China will never sit idly by]

  In addition, a reporter questioned that according to Japanese media reports, after the United States unilaterally withdrew from the "Guide to the Treaty," it was negotiating with Japan to deploy a medium-range missile at a US military base in Japan. The media commented that the move would put Japan in a dangerous position. In response, Wu Qian stated that China firmly opposes the deployment of the US mediator in the Asia-Pacific region. If the United States insists on deployment, it is provoking at China's "door". China will never sit idly by, and will take all necessary measures to resolutely fight back.

  "At the same time, China hopes that Japan and other relevant countries will proceed cautiously from the perspective of regional peace and stability, and not allow the United States to conduct guidance in its territorial deployment so as not to fall victim to the geopolitical plot of the United States." Wu Qian pointed out.

[The United States restricts Chinese students studying abroad is another outbreak of "persecuted delusions"]

  Earlier this month, after the US announced the termination of some Chinese students and scholars entering the United States, US Secretary of State Pompeo issued a media statement that the United States will never allow the Chinese government to illegally steal technology and intellectual property from US academic research institutions for use by the Chinese military.

  Wu Qian responded that China has always adhered to the path of independent scientific research and has achieved world-renowned achievements in a series of high-tech fields. This is a fact recognized by the international community. The unjustified accusations by the US are just another outbreak of its "persecuted delusions".

  "We have noticed that the U.S. has introduced measures to restrict the visas of Chinese students studying in the United States, which seriously infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese students studying in China, seriously interferes with the exchange of science, technology and culture between China and the United States, and seriously damages the atmosphere of cultural exchanges between China and the United States. It is completely detrimental to others." Wu Qian said.

  Wu Qian pointed out that he hopes that the US government will view China's development in an objective and rational manner, deeply reflect on its own problems, and do not go further and further on the wrong path.

  [The whole army will distribute new camouflage suits as planned]

  A reporter questioned that a recent online picture showed that the officers and soldiers in the security base in Djibouti had changed to "starry camouflage clothes." Wu Qian said that the officers and soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army's support base in Djibouti were wearing new camouflage uniforms that were unveiled during the military parade to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. This camouflage suit is being tried on by the relevant army organization. "Next, we will distribute the whole army as planned."

[Welcome to join the army of civilian personnel to become a "giant wave" to boost the motherland]

  Regarding the topic of "this year's open military recruitment of civilian personnel for the society has been fully launched", Wu Qian said that he welcomes more aspiring young people to join the military's civilian personnel team and use his youth and struggle to become a "giant wave" to promote the motherland's progress.

  He said that candidates can log on to the military talent network to understand recruitment information and register.
