China News Agency, Beijing, July 30 (Reporter Li Chun) "The US's'making the wind and waves' in the South China Sea will only make China more firmly'ride the wind and waves', more firmly defend its sovereignty and security, and more firmly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. "At the regular press conference of the Ministry of National Defense of China on July 30, spokesperson Ren Guoqiang pointed out.
A reporter asked on the same day that since this month, the US State Department has issued a statement on its position on the South China Sea, stating that China seeks an "ocean empire" in the South China Sea. The US Department of Defense accused China of its exercises in Xisha for causing instability in the South China Sea. At the same time, the U.S. military announced on multiple Twitter accounts that it will send two "dual aircraft carriers" to the South China Sea for exercises this month. It is reported that this is the first time the US military has made such an arrangement after many years, which will seriously undermine the peace and stability of the South China Sea. Do you have any comments on this?
"We are firmly opposed to this statement by the US." Ren Guoqiang said that the US has ignored the historical perspective and objective facts of the South China Sea issue, and has blatantly violated its commitment to not holding a stand on the sovereignty issue of the South China Sea. The aircraft carrier's exercise in the South China Sea fully exposed the "hegemonic mentality" and double standards of the United States.
The spokesperson pointed out that the US claims to be the so-called "arbitrator" of the South China Sea issue, but it is actually a disruptor of peace in the South China Sea, a disruptor of regional cooperation, and an instigator of state-to-state relations.
He also pointed out that China has indisputable sovereignty over the South China Sea islands and their adjacent waters, which has sufficient historical and legal basis. At present, with the joint efforts of China and ASEAN countries, the situation in the South China Sea is generally stable, and relevant consultations have made positive progress. China demands that the United States stop making false statements, stop taking military provocative actions in the South China Sea, and stop provoking and divorcing regional countries.
At the press conference that day, Ren Guoqiang announced that recently, the Southern Theater Naval Air Force organized the H-6G, H-6J and other new fighters to carry out day and night high-intensity training in relevant waters of the South China Sea, completing day and night take-offs and landings, and long-range attacks. , Training subjects such as attacking sea targets, achieved the expected results.
Ren Guoqiang said that this training is a routine arrangement in the annual plan, which will help improve the pilot's technical and tactical level and the troops' all-weather combat capability. (Finish)
