China News Service, December 24. According to the official WeChat message of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, regarding the signing of the "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023" by the US President, Tan Kefei, spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, said in an answer to a reporter's question that China expresses its strong dissatisfaction and determination. Objected, has lodged stern representations to the US side.
The Chinese People's Liberation Army will, as always, stand ready and resolutely defend the unity and territorial integrity of the motherland.
A reporter asked: On December 24, Beijing time, the President of the United States signed the "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023", which includes a number of China-related content. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?
Tan Kefei said that the U.S. has issued the "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023" that includes a number of negative clauses related to China. It disregards the facts and exaggerates the "China threat", willfully interferes in China's internal affairs, and seeks excuses for increasing military spending and maintaining hegemony. The domestic bill overrides the basic norms of international relations, which will not only damage China's national sovereignty, security, and development interests, but will also poison the relationship between the two countries and the two militaries.
China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this, and has lodged stern representations with the US.
Tan Kefei pointed out that China will unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development, firmly pursue a defensive national defense policy, and always take practical actions to maintain world peace, promote common development, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
The Chinese military has grown and grown, and has always been a staunch force for maintaining world peace and stability.
This is obvious to the international community and cannot be slandered.
In sharp contrast to this, the United States stubbornly pursues its own interests first, and willfully wages wars and creates conflicts against other countries for its own self-interest, causing a large number of innocent civilian casualties and displacement.
Facts have repeatedly proved that the United States is the direct threat to the international order and the driving force behind regional turmoil.
Tan Kefei emphasized that the resolution of the Taiwan issue is the Chinese people's own business, and it is China's internal affair, which does not allow any external interference, and the US has no right to make irresponsible remarks.
For a period of time, the U.S. has been emptying out and distorting the one-China principle, frequently selling arms to Taiwan, strengthening U.S.-Taiwan military ties, and concocting Taiwan-related bills and documents that damage China’s sovereignty. Risk of military confrontation.
The Chinese People's Liberation Army will, as always, stand ready and resolutely defend the unity and territorial integrity of the motherland.
China urges the U.S. to abandon its obsession with zero-sum games, view China's national defense and military building objectively and rationally, earnestly respect China's core interests and major concerns, and work with China to implement and implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state.
Only in this way can Sino-US military relations be back on track.
