The Ministry of Foreign Affairs: some countries intend to launch a "new cold war" in Asia. Countries in the region firmly oppose it. On 5 June, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: we noticed that during the Shangri-La Dialogue held a few days ago, senior leaders of many countries, such as Indonesia and Singapore, indicated that they did not want to see a "new cold war" and did not want to be forced to take sides between China and the United States. Does the spokesman have any comment on this? Wang Wenbin said: the relevant statements fully show that individual countries intend to launch a "new cold war" in Asia, forcing countries in the region to choose sides and taking sides, thus arousing general vigilance and resolute opposition from countries in the region. It is the common aspiration of countries in the region to adhere to strategic autonomy and maintain regional stability and development. Some countries boast freedom and openness and claim to maintain regional peace and prosperity, but in fact they continue to piece together all kinds of military blocs and try to push NATO eastward into the Asia-Pacific region. Most countries in the region are very clear about this. They oppose the patchwork of various military groups in the region, do not welcome NATO to extend its tentacles to Asia, do not accept the replication of camp confrontation to Asia, and do not allow any hot war of the Cold War to be repeated in Asia.
