Chinanews.com, December 6. According to the WeChat official account "Release by the Ministry of National Defense", Tan Kefei, spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, made a statement on the US 2022 "China Military and Security Development Report".
Tan Kefei said that recently, the U.S. Department of Defense released the 2022 China Military and Security Development Report, which distorts China's national defense policy and military strategy, makes groundless speculation about China's military development, and grossly interferes in China's internal affairs on the Taiwan issue. China's military threat" usual tactic.
China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this, and has lodged stern representations with the US.
China adheres to the path of peaceful development and pursues a defensive national defense policy. It has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of international order.
China's military development aims to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests. No matter how developed it is, it will never seek hegemony or engage in expansion.
On the other hand, the United States has not fought a war for only 16 years in the past 250 years. It fanned the flames everywhere for its own self-interest, creating divisions and confrontations in the world, and bringing turmoil and disasters wherever it went.
Facts have proved time and again that the United States is the biggest troublemaker and destroyer of world peace and stability.
Taiwan is China's Taiwan, and the resolution of the Taiwan issue is the Chinese people's own business, which is to be decided by the Chinese.
At present, some people in the United States cling to the illusion of "using Taiwan to control China", and the DPP authorities are trying to "rely on the United States to seek independence". This is the root cause of the tension in the Taiwan Strait.
We are committed to maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, but we never promise to renounce the use of force and reserve the option to take all necessary measures.
The Chinese military has the confidence and ability to thwart any external interference and separatist plots for "Taiwan independence" and realize the complete reunification of the motherland.
In the report, the United States criticizes and speculates on the modernization of China's nuclear forces. In fact, the United States should deeply review and reflect on its own nuclear policy.
The United States has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, continues to upgrade its "trinity" nuclear force, vigorously develops and seeks to deploy tactical nuclear weapons at the forefront, lowers the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons, and promotes nuclear proliferation through the US-UK-Australia trilateral security partnership. It has increasingly become the source of nuclear conflicts.
What needs to be emphasized is that China firmly adheres to the nuclear strategy of self-defense and defense, always adheres to the policy of no first use of nuclear weapons at any time and under any circumstances, and maintains its nuclear forces at the minimum level required for national security.
Tan Kefei pointed out that he urged the United States to abandon the Cold War mentality, correct its misperceptions about China, view China's national defense and military building objectively and rationally, stop publishing erroneous remarks and relevant reports, and take practical actions to bring the relationship between the two countries and the two militaries back to the track of healthy and stable development.
