Tan Kefei, spokesman of the Ministry of national defense, answered reporters' questions on the recent negative remarks related to China by the Australian Ministry of national defense on the 10th. He said that the relevant remarks of Australian Defense leaders have fully exposed their cold war thinking and ideological bias, and seriously damaged the military relations between China and Australia. China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this. A reporter asked that it was reported that Australian Defense Minister Darden said in a recent interview whether Australia would arm Taiwan that Australia would do its best to deter China's "aggression" in the region. Earlier, in response to the so-called "laser irradiation" incident of Chinese warships claimed by Australia, Dutton said that Australia must disclose China's bullying behavior. The Australian Ministry of defense has also issued statements on many occasions to defend the approach reconnaissance behavior of Australian military aircraft. What is the speaker's comment? Tan Kefei said that the remarks of Australian Defense leaders grossly interfere in China's internal affairs and wantonly distort China's actions to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, which fully exposed its cold war thinking and ideological bias and seriously damaged the military relations between China and Australia. China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this. He stressed that the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affairs and does not allow any external interference. It is not up to Australia to make irresponsible remarks. Solving the Taiwan issue and realizing the complete reunification of the country is a historical trend that no one and no force can stop. If you pick a problem on the Taiwan issue, you will only jump higher and fall heavier. The Chinese people's Liberation Army is in full readiness to resolutely thwart any interference by external forces and any separatist attempt of "Taiwan independence". "With regard to the encounter between Chinese and Australian ships and aircraft, China has explained the context and right and wrong of the incident." Tan Kefei said, "Here, I would like to emphasize once again that during the whole process of meeting with the Australian military aircraft, the Chinese ships have always maintained safe, standardized and professional operation, which is in line with relevant international law and international practice. From the videos taken by our ships, it can be seen that the Australian aircraft conducted close reconnaissance on our ship, which is full of malice in intent and unprofessional in operation, so as to give safety to the ships, aircraft and personnel of both sides All pose a threat. Instead of introspection, Australia has repeatedly spread false information, made false accusations against China and constantly advocated confrontation. It has become a "troublemaker" of regional peace and stability. " Tan Kefei said that for some time, senior Australian military and political officials, out of their own political self-interest, have frequently made negative remarks related to China, preached the so-called "China's military expansion", advocated confrontation with China in the South China Sea, and advocated alliance against China. We have noticed that many people of insight in Australia have also criticized these erroneous remarks. We ask some senior military and political officials of Australia to stop exaggerating and hyping the "China threat", carefully deal with Taiwan related issues, do more things conducive to enhancing mutual trust between the two sides, and don't go all the way to the black.
