Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson: Building any military blocs in the region is unacceptable
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said that most countries in the Asia-Pacific region (APR) do not accept NATO's increased military activity in the region. The Chinese diplomat spoke about this at a regular press briefing, responding to a request from journalists to comment on the statements of the leaders of Asian countries, including Indonesia and Singapore, whether they want to be at the epicenter of the "new cold war" or give preference in favor of China or the United States.
As the Chinese statesman noted, such a reaction on the part of the Asia-Pacific countries clearly indicates their unwillingness to be drawn into another bloc confrontation on the continent, when they are forced to take one side or another. On the contrary, he stressed, all these states strive to ensure the protection, stability and development of the region.
At the same time, Wang Wenbin added, the behavior of some countries that only verbally seek to maintain peace and prosperity in the region, creating various military alliances, which thereby leads to the strengthening of the influence of the North Atlantic military bloc in the Asia-Pacific region, is much more alarming. .
Wang Wenbin:
In conclusion, the official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry touched upon the topic of Beijing's support for the key role of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). He said that China is ready to jointly with all ASEAN countries, as well as other partners in the region, make all necessary efforts to develop the concept of open and mutually beneficial cooperation so that Asia remains a stronghold of peace.
