On July 7, Li Zuocheng, member of the Central Military Commission and chief of staff of the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission, had a video call with Milley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Li Zuocheng said that President Xi Jinping emphasized that in the new era, China and the United States should respect each other, coexist peacefully and cooperate for win-win results.
President Biden has repeatedly made positive statements of "four nonsense and no intention", which China attaches great importance to.
As long as we adhere to the strategic guidance of the two heads of state and implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, China and the United States can fully develop and achieve mutual success.
Under the current situation, the two militaries should uphold mutual respect, an objective and rational attitude, further strengthen dialogue, manage risks, and promote cooperation, instead of deliberately creating confrontation, provoking trouble, and mutually exclusive.
Li Zuocheng emphasized that China has no room for compromise on issues concerning the core interests of the country.
China requires the US to abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three joint communiqués, stop reversing history, stop US-Taiwan military collusion, and avoid impacting China-US relations and the stability of the Taiwan Strait.
The Chinese military will resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The two sides believe that it is in the common interests of both sides to maintain the stable development of the relationship between the two militaries and avoid conflicts and confrontations, and the two sides can maintain communication on this.
The two sides also exchanged views on maritime and air military security and the crisis in Ukraine.
