Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The United States is leading the way in causing trouble and provocation. The US military claims that Chinese warships are "unsafe" to approach American ships and cause trouble. Response | US | warships | Wang Wenbin | provocation | China | China
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin presided over a regular press conference on June 5th.
A reporter asked: US military officials claimed that a Chinese warship approached a US warship in an "unsafe manner" in the Taiwan Strait last Saturday. What is China's response to this?
Wang Wenbin: The spokesperson for the Eastern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army of China has responded to this. You can refer to it.
What I want to emphasize is that the truth is that the United States is the first to cause trouble and provoke, while China is the second to handle it in accordance with the law and regulations. China has always respected the freedom of navigation and overflight enjoyed by countries under international law. The actions taken by the Chinese military are necessary measures to respond to provocations from relevant countries, which are completely reasonable, legal, safe and professional. China firmly opposes any country causing trouble in the Taiwan Strait region and resolutely defends national sovereignty, security, and regional peace and stability.
