A reporter asked. On the 15th, the US guided missile destroyer "Dewey" and the Canadian frigate "Winnipeg" crossed the Taiwan Strait. What is the spokesperson's response?
Zhao Lijian said that the spokesperson of the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army has made a statement on this.
Zhao Lijian pointed out that the U.S. ship has repeatedly flaunted force and provoked in the Taiwan Strait. It has also intensified the launching of allied powers, conspiring, provoking, and disrupting troubles, and is of a bad nature.
This is not a promise of freedom and openness, but a deliberate interference and destruction of regional peace and stability. The international community sees it clearly.
He emphasized that China's determination to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity is unwavering. The Chinese military always maintains a high level of alert and resolutely counters all threats and provocations.
The U.S. should change its course and correct its mistakes. Canada should proceed from its own interests and the overall situation of China-Canada relations, and refrain from taking chestnuts for others and willingly becoming accomplices.
