BEIJING (AP) – Activity of U. S. Army ships and surveillance aircraft heading to China has increased, especially President Joe Biden, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Defense said Thursday.
For example, Wu Qian stated that the military destroyer USS Mustin had recently carried out a closure of the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning and its war group.
This had “seriously interfered with Chinese-looking educational activities and seriously threatened the protection of the navigation and body of workers in either respect,” Wu said. The envoy warned him to leave and a formal protest was lodged with the United States, he said.
The US army’s shipping activity is in the process of sending the US military. But it’s not the first time It has increased by 20% and aircraft activity in claimed spaces across China since Biden took over the workplace in January of the same time last year, Wu said.
“The United States sends ships and planes to operate in the seas and airspace near China, encouraging regional militarization and threatening regional peace and stability,” Wu said at a virtually monthly briefing.
China opposes the presence of the U. S. military in the South China Sea, which asserts almost entirely, as well as the passage of military ships across the Taiwan Strait.
The country recently celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the collision between a U. S. surveillance aircraft and a Chinese military fighter near China’s island province of Hainan, which resulted in the death of the Chinese pilot, who called a hero who sacrificed himself in defense of the United States declared that his plane in foreign airspace and that the turn of destination is the result of reckless flight on the Chinese side.
Wu also criticized Taiwan’s surveillance measures for Chinese aircraft movements, with the island’s autonomous democracy claimed through China as its own territory, to be forced by force if necessary.
The Taiwanese government’s efforts so China calls inevitable unification are like “a manante seeking to avoid a tank,” Wu said.
The United States maintains unofficial relations with Taiwan out of respect for Beijing, but provides the island with defensive weapons and is legally obliged to treat threats that oppose it as “issues of grave concern. “The conflict option.
In an interview with Britain’s Sky News, Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Joseph Wu reiterated recent warnings that the Chinese military is at risk of expanding through “disinformation campaigns, hybrid warfare, and Array activities. . . grey area. “
“And it turns out that all this is preparing for its most recent army attack in Taiwan,” Wu told Sky.
“This is our country, it’s our other people and it’s our way of life. We’ll protect ourselves to the end,” Wu said.
Biden did not address these threats from the military in his speech to Congress Wednesday night, noting that China and others are “closing quickly” in economic and technological terms.
“We are competing with China and countries to win the 21st century,” Biden said.
This provoked a severe reaction from China’s Foreign Ministry, reflecting how hopes for an improvement in the tone, while substantial, of relations under Biden have paid little work.
“The United States asks others to adhere to regulations while they themselves violate regulations,” spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a daily press conference.
“This is in the nature of Cold War thinking and ideological prejudice, and it’s a sign of selflessness,” Wang said. “We hope that the United States can reject the mindset of China’s sour grape. “
