On December 29, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference. Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, deputy director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, said in an answer to reporters' questions that if the United States really wants to carry out positive and constructive dialogue and exchanges with China, It is necessary to show sincerity and actions, earnestly respect China's core interests and major concerns, and actively create conditions and create an atmosphere for the relationship between the two militaries to return to the right track.
At the meeting, a reporter asked: According to reports, the US Secretary of Defense talked about the importance of resuming the dialogue mechanism between the two militaries during the talks between the US and Chinese defense ministers.
The deputy assistant secretary of defense of the US Department of Defense recently participated in a US think tank seminar and said that China's suspension of the US-China military dialogue mechanism due to Pelosi's treachery is not conducive to timely communication between the two militaries, dispelling doubts, and reducing miscalculations.
what opinions do the Chinese have on this issue?
Tan Kefei responded that we have noticed relevant reports.
Right and wrong cannot be confused. China's cancellation of the three military exchanges between China and the United States is a necessary countermeasure against the United States deliberately creating a major crisis and seriously undermining China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The cause and effect are clear, and the United States is well aware of this.
Recently, the U.S. has successively issued a number of negative policy documents and bills related to China, loudly agitating competition among major powers, exaggerating and hyping the so-called "China threat", grossly interfering in China's internal affairs, and further undermining the foundation and atmosphere of communication between the two militaries.
Tan Kefei said that it needs to be pointed out that China attaches great importance to the development of Sino-US military relations, and the working level communication between the two militaries has not been interrupted.
However, the U.S. cannot seek to fully resume dialogue and exchanges with China while continuously harming China's interests, let alone reverse the facts and shift the responsibility for canceling some exchanges between the two militaries to China. There is no reason for this in the world.
If the US really wants to engage in positive and constructive dialogue and exchanges with China, it must show sincerity and take action, earnestly respect China's core interests and major concerns, and actively create conditions and create an atmosphere for the relationship between the two militaries to return to the right track.
