China's Ministry of National Defense: Using the old engine of the Cold War era to catch up with the new journey of world peace and development
China News Agency, Beijing, October 28 (Reporter Gao Kai) Tan Kefei, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense of China, said at a regular press conference on the 28th that the old engine of the Cold War era is always used and will never catch up with the new journey of world peace and development.
China urges the US to abandon the outdated Cold War mentality and the concept of zero-sum game, and take an objective and rational view of China's national defense and army building.
A reporter asked. According to reports, the US Navy recently issued a new strategic guide stating that the Chinese Navy is expanding its capabilities to become the world's largest fleet, and China is a pressing challenge step by step.
The Secretary of the U.S. Navy emphasized that in the future, it will maintain the strength of the U.S. Navy and strengthen the U.S. military's combat readiness.
Some analysts believe that this is the first time that the US has admitted that the Chinese and US naval forces are evenly matched.
what opinions do the Chinese have on this issue?
Tan Kefei pointed out that some people in the U.S. have tried to use ulterior motives to "pop and kill" and exaggerate the "Chinese military threat." In essence, they are creating excuses for their own military expansion and military spending. The real intention is to maintain military hegemony on a global scale.
China firmly opposes this.
"The world is suffering from hegemonism for a long time." Tan Kefei said that with its super military strength, the United States often ignores international law and the basic norms of international relations, frequently launches wars and creates splits and confrontations. Its hegemony, hegemony, and bullying behavior are obvious to all.
For a period of time, the US has mistakenly regarded China as its "biggest competitor" and "systematic challenge" and adopted the so-called "maximum pressure" policy.
Tan Kefei pointed out that those who are obsessed with the sword will be hurt by the sword.
This kind of adventurous behavior of overwhelming others and striving for victory will not only continue to increase the risk of confrontation between the two countries and the two militaries, and endanger regional and world peace and stability, but will eventually harm others, ourselves, and ourselves.
The recent underwater collision of US military nuclear submarines is a clear proof.
"We hereby reiterate that the United States must take the concerns of all parties seriously, take a responsible attitude, and give a detailed explanation of the incident as soon as possible, so as to give a satisfactory explanation to the international community and regional countries."
Tan Kefei stated that President Xi Jinping pointed out: "Standing at a new historical starting point, China will adhere to the path of peaceful development and always be a builder of world peace; adhere to the path of reform and opening up, and always be a contributor to global development; adhere to multilateralism. We will always be the defender of international order.” China firmly pursues a defensive national defense policy and will never follow the old path of chasing hegemony and “a country must be hegemonic”.
The Chinese military has always been a staunch force for maintaining world peace and stability and serving to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
"If we always use the old engine of the Cold War era, we will never catch up with the new journey of world peace and development. We urge the US to abandon the outdated Cold War mentality and the concept of zero-sum game, and take an objective and rational view of China’s national defense and military construction, in order to maintain world and regional peace and stability. Play a constructive role." The spokesperson said.
