The US congressman used the warship incident to say that he would "resolutely oppose China's bullying". The Ministry of Foreign Affairs refuted it.

Xinhua News Agency, 7 June, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin held a regular press conference on 7 June. A reporter asked that Campbell, the US White House National Security Council Indo-Pacific Affairs Coordinator, said on the 6th that the "dangerous voyage" of Chinese destroyers in the Taiwan Strait showed that it was necessary to take measures to prevent accidents and terrible consequences. Us Democratic Senator Ben Cardin said that China's approach to US warships violates international law, firmly opposes "China's bullying" and "cannot allow China's intimidation to succeed." What is China's response to this? "when it comes to bullying and intimidation, the United States is more adept than any other country." Wang Wen responded that it was reported that in 2022 alone, large US reconnaissance planes approached China as many as 800 sorties. In 2022, the US military also sent aircraft carrier strike groups into the South China Sea and its surrounding areas.This act of relying on military superiority and infringing upon the sovereignty of other countries is an act of bullying and intimidation. it is also the root cause of sea and air security risks and undermining regional peace and stability. Wang Wenbin said: in response to the US military provocation, China's response to sea and air in accordance with the rules and regulations is reasonable and legal, and has nothing to do with the so-called bullying. In safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity, China has no room for compromise and concession, there is no bullying and intimidation, only the principles and bottom line that China adheres to.
