🕊️ In a call for harmony amidst global turbulence, China is urging the United States to strengthen military ties to foster global stability. Wu Qian, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, emphasized that the two nations should build a military relationship based on non-conflict, non-confrontation, and open cooperation.
Despite the roller-coaster ride 🎢 of China-U.S. relations in recent years, Wu highlighted that both militaries have kept up dialogue and cooperation. He believes that as global powerhouses, China and the U.S. should focus on the bigger picture 🌎 and inject positive vibes into the world.
Wu urged the U.S. to view China's growth positively and work together towards peace and stability. \"We need to prioritize peace, stability, and credibility as the basics of our military engagement,\" he said.
However, tensions rose when U.S. Defense Secretary accused China of \"coercive\" activities in the South China Sea. Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun didn't hold back, refuting these claims on the spot. He pointed out that the U.S. is stirring trouble for its own gains, undermining regional peace.
Dong Jun stressed that China's commitment remains in resolving disputes through friendly consultations. He called on the U.S. to stop spreading lies and provocations. 🌊🚫
It's time for both nations to swipe right 👉 on cooperation and work together for a stable future!
