China, a nation committed to peace, has firmly denied accusations of aggression or expansion. The country's Defense Ministry spokesman, Zhang Xiaogang, emphasized that China will resolutely defend its legitimate rights and interests, taking necessary countermeasures against external threats and challenges.
Responding to the "groundless accusation" from the US side, Zhang highlighted China's defensive national defense policy and active defense military strategy. He underscored the Chinese military's unwavering commitment to peace.
Zhang stressed that major country competition should not define the current era, particularly in the context of China-US relations. He advocated for a stable, sound, and sustained diplomatic and defense relationship between the two countries, aligning with their shared interests and the global community's expectations.
Looking ahead, China hopes to collaborate with the US based on mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation. This collaboration would involve deepening state-to-state and military-to-military exchanges and cooperation, contributing to global stability and positive progress.

Deepening military cooperation with China is irresponsible given their human rights abuses and lack of transparency.

Major country competition is a dangerous path. We need to find ways to cooperate and coexist peacefully.

We should trust China to keep its promises and work together for a better future.

China's denial of aggression is disingenuous. Their actions in the South China Sea and towards Taiwan speak louder than words.
