Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman Wu Qian said America lacks the courage to face facts and correct its mistakes in relations with the PRC.
“We have repeatedly noted that military contacts between China and the United States have not been interrupted, the sides maintain frank and effective interaction through military and diplomatic channels,” Wu Qian noted.
The Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman says that “Washington lacks not communication channels, but courage and action to face facts and correct its mistakes”. According to him, the US always wants to act according to its own rules and whatever it wants.
“The US always wants to tie others hands and feet so that they themselves can do whatever they want… We demand that the US take concrete action and create conditions for the return of relations between the militaries of the two countries in the right direction,” the official stressed.
Earlier, President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping in his address to the BRICS forum participants, which was read by Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao, said that China will continue to strengthen the strategic partnership within the BRICS framework. The Chinese President believes that it is necessary to promote democratisation of international relations and a multipolar world. He also emphasised the importance of strategic development with BRICS.
