🚨 In a move that's got everyone talking, China has called out the United States over its new defense bill. The U.S. just signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025 into law, and China's not happy about some of the content that's all about them.
At a press briefing on Tuesday, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning, didn't hold back. She pointed out that the U.S. keeps hyping up the \"China threat\" year after year, meddling with Taiwan, and putting up barriers to China's tech and economic growth.
Mao stressed that these actions are messing with China's sovereignty and security, and they're throwing a wrench into any attempts to smooth things over between the two countries. 🛑
\"China is seriously ticked off and totally opposed to this,\" Mao said. \"We've let the U.S. know how we feel.\"
She urged the U.S. to drop the Cold War mindset and see China-U.S. relations in a fair and square way. Mao emphasized that the U.S. should actually stick to the one-China principle (something they've agreed on before) and stop arming Taiwan.
📣 Mao called on the U.S. to quit making science, tech, and trade issues political and to stop using them as weapons. Plus, she asked the U.S. to stop using China as an excuse to boost military spending and hold onto global dominance.
China isn't just talking the talk. Mao made it clear: \"China will take strong measures to protect its sovereignty, security, and development interests.\"
Looks like this back-and-forth isn't ending anytime soon. Stay tuned for more updates on this international drama! 🌏
