A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, Wang Wenbin, criticized that the U.S. military ships not far away to the door of China to provoke, not to maintain "freedom of navigation", but to promote "navigation hegemony".
Wang Wenbin answered on Tuesday (June 6) at a regular press conference that the United States expressed concern about the United States' "unsafe, unprofessional" interception behavior of China, and said that related actions of China are increasingly aggressive.
Wang Wenbin said that the U.S. military ships ran away from the door of China not far away to provoke, and insisted on reaching the reconnaissance and Yao Wuyei near the neighboring sea leader in China.This is not to maintain "freedom of navigation", but to promote "navigation hegemony" and naked military provocations.This hegemony is the root cause of the safety risk of sea and air.
Wang Wenbin also said that China has always respects the rights and flying rights enjoyed by countries based on international law, but resolutely oppose China's sovereignty and security in the name of navigation and flying over freedom.The Chinese army carried out the sea and air site response in accordance with laws and regulations. The relevant measures were professional, legal, and reasonable.
Chinese Defense Director Li Shangfu on Sunday (June 4) When he was asked about the relevant questions after a speech in Shangri -La, Singapore, he also asked the participants why the dangerous interception incidents of military aircraft warships occurred.China leads near the sea, not in other countries.He also said that in addition to formulating similar disputes, in addition to formulating relevant rules, "control your own people, control your own warships, and control your own plane."
