According to him, the United States is constantly strengthening military ties with partners and organizing blocs to confront China. The United States is forming small groups against China and forcing countries to choose one side or another, Lin Jian noted.
At the same time, China seeks to cooperate with all countries of the world and build normal relations with them, the diplomat said. The Celestial Empire develops its military potential only for the sake of maintaining national security and does not target it at other states, the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed.
Earlier, First Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said that the events on the battlefield in Ukraine allegedly have a direct impact on the nature of a possible conflict in the Indo-Pacific region. He said that the events in Ukraine "cannot be considered separately" from the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
