国防部回应美菲“肩并肩”：亚太地区最不需要引入外部力量制造分裂对抗
On the afternoon of April 30, the Ministry of Defense held a regular press conference, where Major General Zhang Xiaogang, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense, answered reporters' questions.
A reporter asked: According to reports, the U.S. and the Philippines are conducting the largest-ever "shoulder-to-shoulder" joint exercises in the Philippines and surrounding areas of the South China Sea, with a total troop strength of 17,000. Philippine Defense Secretary Teodoro claimed that this is a collective deterrent aimed at China. At the same time, the Southern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army announced that it recently organized the 107th fleet to conduct training activities in the waters east of Luzon Island in the Philippines, stating that this is a necessary action in response to the current regional situation. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?
Zhang Xiaogang stated that what the Asia-Pacific region needs most is peace and tranquility, and what it needs least is the introduction of external forces to create division and confrontation. Certain individuals in the Philippines, for their own selfish interests, willingly act as pawns for the U.S., maliciously slandering and attacking China, and interfering with and undermining the overall situation of China-Philippines relations. We firmly oppose this.
