📣 Hey, folks! Big news from Asia! China is calling on the U.S. to drop some negative vibes in its latest defense bill. 🇨🇳🇺🇸
So here's the scoop: China's top legislature spokesperson, Xu Dong, just announced on Wednesday that China is strongly urging the United States to ditch its Cold War mindset and ideological bias. Why? Because the U.S. passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025, and President Joe Biden signed it into law. And guess what? China isn't thrilled with some of the content targeting them. 😬
Xu Dong expressed major dissatisfaction, pointing out that the NDAA keeps hyping up the so-called \"China threat,\" supports military moves concerning Taiwan, suppresses China's tech and economic growth, and interferes with China's internal affairs. Not cool, right? 🤔
He emphasized that China has always aimed for mutual respect and peaceful coexistence with the U.S. The idea is that both countries can win by working together rather than standing in each other's way. 🌏✌️
Xu also highlighted that stable and positive China-U.S. relations aren't just important for both nations but for the whole world! 🌍 He mentioned that while it's natural for big countries to have disagreements, they shouldn't cross each other's core interests or head towards conflict. 🚫
He marked some red lines that shouldn't be challenged: issues around Taiwan, democracy and human rights, China's development path, and its right to grow. 🚦
Wrapping up, Xu urged the U.S. to drop the negative parts of the NDAA related to China and avoid repeating past mistakes. He warned that China will take firm actions to protect its sovereignty and development interests. 🛡️
