It is the root cause of security risks, Ministry of Foreign Affairs: US military aircraft run to China's doorstep to provoke Wang Wenbin | Ministry of Foreign Affairs Regular Press Conference
On June 6th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin presided over a regular press conference.
A reporter asked, and Kobe, the strategic communication coordinator of the White House National Security Council, told reporters that the interception actions of Chinese ships and fighter jets indicate that China is becoming increasingly "aggressive", leading to an increased risk of accidents. What is the comment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on this?
Wang Wenbin's profile shows that "yesterday we have already responded to the relevant remarks from the United States, and I would like to emphasize one more point. The truth is that US military ships and planes have traveled thousands of miles to provoke China's doorstep, insisting on conducting close range inspections near China's territorial waters and airspace. This is not to maintain 'freedom of navigation', but to promote 'navigation hegemony'. It is a blatant military provocation, and this kind of hegemonic behavior is the root cause of sea and air security risks." Wang Wenbin said.

Wang Wenbin emphasized that China has always respected the navigation and overflight rights enjoyed by countries under international law, but firmly opposes using freedom of navigation and overflight as a pretext to harm China's sovereignty and security. The Chinese military carries out on-site sea and air response in accordance with the law and regulations, and the relevant measures are professional, legal, and reasonable.
