The People’s Liberation Army of China (PLA) will firmly defend the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Motherland amid the attempts of Japan to strengthen tension in the region by publishing defense reports that say the “Chinese military threat”, the official representative of the Ministry of Defense of the PRC said Qian.
“White Book” on defense, published by Japan, is full of prejudices. Thus, the Japanese side tries to spread the theory of the so -called Chinese military threat. This is a rough intervention in the internal affairs of China, contributing to increased tension in the region. The army of the PRC is determined. We have strength, and we are sure that we can protect national sovereignty, safety and territorial integrity of our country, ”the statement said.
As the representative of the Ministry of Defense specified, the PLAC expresses extreme discontent and decisive protest in connection with such attempts to slander China: “The PRC has already made Tokyo a serious performance,” he added. He emphasized that Beijing pursues peaceful policy in the international arena, adhering to a defensive strategy.
He noted that in the indicated Japanese “White Book” it was also about the situation in the South China Sea. “Japan is not related to issues related to this region, Tokyo’s attempt to violate stability there is a manifestation of irresponsibility. We demand that the Japanese side stop taking erroneous statements and take a responsible position, take real steps in order to restore confidence Among neighboring states and at the international community, ”said Cian.
Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Japan published a report (“White Book”), which notes that the tendency to deepen the military cooperation of Moscow and Beijing against the backdrop of a war in Ukraine causes Tokyo’s concern. The document also indicates that the Japanese side does not exclude the likelihood of China of a full -scale operation to land in Taiwan.
