China News Service, Beijing, January 19 (Huang Yuqin) In response to US officials' claims that China tested more than 250 ballistic missiles last year, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said at a regular press conference on the 19th that some people in the US have always been against China. China expresses its firm opposition to the development of military strength in the United States.
A reporter asked questions. According to reports, the US President’s Special Envoy for Arms Control Affairs tweeted on the 15th that despite the new crown pneumonia epidemic, China still tested more than 250 ballistic missiles in 2020, exceeding its number of launches in 2018 and 2019. .
The United States and its allies will not turn a blind eye to this.
What is China's comment?
Hua Chunying said that some people in the United States have always spoken out about China's military development, and China firmly opposes this.
As the only superpower in the world, the United States has long pursued the supremacy of power and unrestrained development of various advanced weapons, including missiles. It does not hesitate to break contracts and withdraw groups for this reason, seriously undermining global and regional peace and stability.
Hua Chunying pointed out that facts have proved that the relevant U.S. remarks are merely making excuses for its uncontrolled military expansion and covering the public.
China firmly pursues a defensive national defense policy. The development of its military strength is only maintained at the minimum level required for legitimate national security. The fundamental purpose is to maintain national security and contain wars. It is beyond reproach to not target any country.
