on september 23, foreign ministry spokesperson lin jian hosted a regular press conference.
a bloomberg reporter asked: at the quadrilateral security dialogue (quadrilateral security dialogue) summit held in the united states last weekend, us president biden made some remarks about china. what is the ministry of foreign affairs' comment on this?
lin jian pointed out that the "quadrilateral mechanism" is positioned as the primary leadership mechanism in the region in the us's "indo-pacific strategy" and is a tool for the us to contain china and maintain its hegemony. the "indo-pacific strategy" attempts to hype up the "china threat" to build consensus on exclusion and containment of china, and attempts to gather military and security cooperation on maritime issues. the intentions and methods are exactly the same.
"the us keeps saying that it is not targeting china, but the first topic of the summit is china, and china is mentioned everywhere at the summit. this is lying with open eyes, and even the us media doesn't believe it," said lin jian.
he said that china has always advocated that cooperation between countries should not target third parties, let alone harm the interests of third parties. any regional initiative must conform to the general trend of the region and promote regional peace, stability and prosperity. putting together a closed and exclusive "small circle" and undermining the mutual trust and cooperation of regional countries runs counter to the general trend of the asia-pacific region of seeking peace, development, cooperation and prosperity, and is doomed to go nowhere, let alone fail.
the united states should let go of its obsession with "maintaining hegemony and containing china", stop using regional countries as tools, stop whitewashing the strategic intentions of various "small circles", and put its statement of "not seeking to strengthen alliances against china" into practice, rather than seeking selfish interests at the expense of the strategic security interests of other countries and the well-being of the people in the asia-pacific.
