Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 13 (Reporter Mei Shixiong) Wu Qian, a spokesman for the Department of Defense, delivered a speech on September 13 on the United States Department of Defense’s release of the Military and Security Development Report. of China 2020. He said that this is another example of the defamation and slander of the United States against China and the Chinese military. China expresses its strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this.
Wu Qian said that on September 2 Beijing time, the United States Department of Defense released the 2020 “China Military and Security Development Report”, meaninglessly distorting the relationship between the Communist Party of China and the Chinese army, misinterpreting China’s defense policy and military strategy, and exaggerating the so-called “Chinese military threat.” , Arbitrarily discussing the modernization of China’s armed forces and national defense, and making unsubstantiated accusations on issues such as defense spending, nuclear policy, and Taiwan. This is another example of the US slander and libel against China and the Chinese military. The publication of reports of this type for 20 consecutive years is a hegemonic and provocative act, which has seriously damaged relations between the two countries and the two armies. The Chinese side expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this, and made solemn representations to the American side.
Wu Qian said that the Chinese People’s Liberation Army is the people’s army under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. The “Constitution of the People’s Republic of China” clearly stipulates that the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party is the most essential characteristic of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The armed forces of the People’s Republic of China belong to the people. Maintaining the absolute leadership of the party over the army is the eternal soul of the people’s army. As an armed force created and led by the Communist Party of China, the purpose of building the Chinese People’s Liberation Army has always been to serve the people wholeheartedly, to make great sacrifices for the realization of national independence and the liberation of the people. , in economic construction, respond to major natural disasters and safeguard people’s lives and property. Make outstanding contributions.
Wu Qian said that China adheres to the path of peaceful development and firmly pursues a defensive national defense policy and an active defense military strategy. The development of China’s military power is entirely due to the need to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests. It does not target any country or pose a threat to any country. China’s development and construction of weapons and equipment has always adhered to the principles of independence, self-reliance and independent innovation, and mainly relies on its own strength for research and production. The Chinese army’s march to the world brings security rather than threats to the world and opportunities rather than challenges. The Chinese military has always been a staunch force in maintaining world peace. In recent years, it has increasingly performed overseas military tasks such as peacekeeping, escorting, and disaster relief. Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, the Chinese military has actively promoted international military cooperation through the exchange of letters, the exchange of telephone calls, the exchange of videos of anti-epidemic experiences and assistance with medical supplies, and it has taken practical action to assume the responsibilities of a great power and fulfill its international obligations.
Wu Qian said that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. The rationale for the current tension in the Taiwan Strait is that the DPP authorities try in vain to maintain foreign self-respect and resist reunification with force, and it is external anti-China forces that are trying to “use Taiwan to control China “and divide China. We must solemnly point out that participating in “Taiwan independence” is a dead end. If anyone dares to try to separate Taiwan from China, the People’s Liberation Army will take all necessary measures to resolutely defeat any attempts and actions that interfere in China’s internal affairs and undermine peace and stability throughout the Taiwan Strait. , and will resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Wu Qian said that in the past 20 years, the United States has illegally launched wars and military operations against countries like Iraq, Syria and Libya, resulting in more than 800,000 deaths and tens of millions of displaced people. Events over the years have shown that the United States is the initiator of regional unrest, the violator of international order, and the destroyer of world peace. The international community has been fair about it for a long time. The United States does not reflect on itself, but rather publishes an alleged report that makes rash remarks about normal national defense and building China’s military, and makes irresponsible remarks about China’s legitimate actions to safeguard its sovereignty and security interests. . We call on the United States to treat China’s military and national defense construction objectively and rationally, stop making erroneous comments and related reports, and take practical steps to maintain the healthy development of relations between the two countries and the two armies.
Wu Qian said that the Chinese military will faithfully implement the concept of a community with a shared future for humanity, firmly uphold the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, actively carry out regional security cooperation, provide public security products. and will always be a builder of world peace and a contributor to global development. Defender of the international order.
