The spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Friday that Washington and Tokyo should put aside the Cold War mentality and stop making enemies in the Asia-Pacific region.
Wang Wenbin told reporters at a daily press conference: “We ask the US and Japan to abandon this Cold War mentality and ideological biases, stop creating imaginary enemies, and stop trying to sow the seeds of a new Cold War in the Asia Pacific.” »
The statements of the spokesperson of the Chinese diplomatic service were made in response to the issuance of a joint statement by the United States and Japan on Wednesday. In that statement, the alliance between Washington and Tokyo was described as the axis of peace in the region.
It was on Wednesday that American officials said that the Pentagon plans to increase the anti-ship missile capability in this country to confront China without changing the number of American troops in Japan.
Previously, “James Bierman”, the commander of the US military stationed in Japan, said that Washington and Tokyo are increasing their military cooperation with the aim of countering China’s strengthening in the region.
In another part of his speech, the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry said: “We strongly disagree with the statement of Washington and Tokyo that China is their biggest strategic challenge in the region.”
Wang explained that the US and Japan are making excuses to escalate the situation in the region: “We ask Washington and Tokyo to abandon the Cold War mentality and stop creating imaginary enemies.”
He also said about Britain’s encouragement of separatist thoughts in the Hong Kong region: “Hong Kong has returned to China, and British interference in this regard is unacceptable. “London seeks to destabilize the region.”
