China News Service, November 25. According to the official WeChat news of the Ministry of National Defense News Agency, the director of the Ministry of National Defense News Agency and spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, Colonel Wu Qian, said on the 25th that China has principles for the development of relations between the two militaries, and that is China’s. Sovereignty, dignity and core interests must not be violated.
Especially on the Taiwan issue, China has no room for compromise, and the US should not have any illusions.
The Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference on the 25th. A reporter asked a question. On November 16, President Xi Jinping and US President Biden held a video meeting to exchange in-depth views on Sino-US relations and issues of mutual concern and reached important consensus.
President Xi pointed out that China and the United States have extensive common interests in many fields, including the two militaries. They should exchange their needs and learn from each other to make the "cake" of Sino-US cooperation bigger.
Against this background, what expectations does China have for the development of Sino-US military relations?
In response, Colonel Wu Qian stated that on November 16, President Xi Jinping held a video meeting with US President Biden.
This is a major event in Sino-U.S. relations and international relations. It is another piloting of the Sino-U.S. relations by the two heads of state at a critical moment, pointing out the way forward and injecting new impetus into the future development of the relations between the two countries and the two militaries.
The Sino-US military relations are an important part of the relations between the two countries. Maintaining the healthy and stable development of the relations between the two militaries conforms to the common interests of the two countries and the common expectation of the international community.
China attaches great importance to the development of relations between the two militaries and is willing to maintain exchanges and cooperation with the United States.
However, for a period of time, the US has said a lot of irresponsible things and done a lot of provocative things on Taiwan, the South China Sea, and the arrival of warships and planes for reconnaissance, etc., for which China naturally has to fight tit-for-tat and resolutely.
We have said many times that China has principles for the development of relations between the two militaries, that is, China’s sovereignty, dignity, and core interests cannot be violated.
Especially on the Taiwan issue, China has no room for compromise, and the US should not have any illusions.
President Xi profoundly pointed out that the most important thing in international relations in the next 50 years is that China and the United States must find the right way to get along.
The Chinese military is willing to work with the U.S. to implement the spirit of the meeting between the two heads of state with practical actions, adhere to the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation, take a long-term view, stand on the present, strengthen communication, manage differences, develop cooperation, and promote China and the United States. Military relations are moving forward in a healthy and stable manner, benefiting the peoples of China and the United States and the peoples of all countries in the world.
