On Sunday, Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe stated that the bilateral relationship was at a critical juncture and that it was up to the US to improve it. He urged the US to “strengthen togetherness and oppose confrontation and division” at an Asian security meeting, repeating several times that China only sought stability and peace and was not an aggressor.
In response to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s speech on Saturday, he said China strongly rejected “US smearing, accusations, and even threats.”
“We ask that the US stop slathering and containing China. Stop meddling in China’s domestic affairs. The bilateral relationship will not improve unless the US can do so “Wei, dressed as a particular in the People’s Liberation Army, told.
According to Austin, there has been an “alarming” increase in the number of dangerous and impolite encounters between Chinese planes as well as vessels and those of other countries. He went on to say that the US would support its allies, including Taiwan.
The meeting was dominated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and Wei made it clear that China endorsed peace talks and objected “providing weapons and applying maximum pressure.”
“What is the underlying cause of this crisis? Who is the brains behind this? Who suffers the most? Who stands to benefit the most? Who is promoting peace and who is stoking the fire? I believe we are all aware of the answers to these questions “He said this without attempting to address them or stating China’s position.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned delegates via video link on Saturday that the invasion of Ukraine affected the rules-based order and put the entire world in threat of famine and food crises.
Russia describes its actions in Ukraine as a “special operation,” with the goal of destroying its southern neighbor’s military capabilities and apprehending dangerous nationalists.
Concerning Taiwan, Wei stated that China’s placement on the island, which Beijing regards as a province, remained unchanged. He stated that the Chinese government desired “peaceful reunification” with Taiwan but had “other options.”
“China will undoubtedly achieve reunification,” Wei predicted. “Those who seek Taiwan independence in order to divide China will undoubtedly fail.”
He emphasized that China had contributed to global efforts to combat COVID-19 and that the country’s efforts to develop the South China Sea had been peaceful.
“Countries large and small, powerful and weak, are all equal,” he said. “We must respect one another and treat one another as equals.”
