Ministry of National Defense: Firmly Opposes U.S. Intervention in South China Sea Issues to Destroy Regional Peace and Stability – Xinhuanet
On the afternoon of September 14, the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, Colonel Tan Kefei, released information on recent military-related issues.
Reporter: According to reports, Philippine and US warships held their first joint patrol in the South China Sea. What is the spokesperson’s comment?
Tan Kefei: We are paying close attention to relevant trends. China has always believed that defense and security cooperation between relevant countries must not harm the interests of third parties or harm regional peace and stability. The South China Sea is the common home of regional countries. We firmly oppose the United States interfering in the South China Sea issue for its own selfish interests, showing off force and making trouble in the South China Sea under the guise of “freedom of navigation”, and undermining regional peace and stability. The Chinese military has always resolutely safeguarded national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and resolutely safeguarded peace and stability in the South China Sea.
