Beijing, May 9 /Xinhua/ — Representative of the Ministry of Defense of the PRC Zhan Bin on Saturday called on the relevant countries to stop forming blocs and igniting bloc confrontation.
Cidian Bin made such a statement at yet another press conference when he was asked to comment on the media reports that the defense ministers of Japan and the Philippines issued a joint statement expressing disagreement with “any unilateral attempts to change the status quo in the East China Sea and the South China Sea by force or coercion” and expressing serious concern in connection with “dangerous coercive acts” by China near Japan and the Philippines. The parties also intend to strengthen cooperation in the field of defense, in particular in the sphere of equipment technology and information exchange.
Some politicians from Japan and the Philippines are inflating false narratives on maritime issues and making baseless accusations against China. “We express sharp dissatisfaction regarding this and firmly oppose it,” said Ziyan Bin. -0-
