Xinhua News Agency, June 1, at a regular press conference held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 1 June, a reporter asked that the US Secretary of Defense said that China's refusal to meet senior US defense officials is an "unfortunate thing." He also said that the United States and Japan are working to further modernize military relations in order to prevent what China calls "coercion". How do you comment on this? In response, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said at a press conference, "the Chinese Ministry of Defense has responded to the meeting between the defense ministers of the two countries. You can check it out." She said: with regard to military relations or military cooperation between the United States and Japan, China has always believed that military cooperation between countries should first of all be conducive to regional peace and stability, and should not be directed against third parties, let alone harm the interests of third parties. "when it comes to coercion, what I want to say is that it is not China, but the United States, that is engaged in coercion."
