Ministry of Defense: Canada should be cautious in its words and deeds on China-related issues

The Ministry of National Defense: Canada should be cautious on China-related issues. On the afternoon of 16 June, Senior Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, deputy director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, answered a reporter's question on recent military-related issues. Reporter: it is reported that the Canadian Defense Minister recently announced that the Canadian Navy will increase the number of warships deployed in the Indo-Pacific region to three each year, while calling China a "global destructive power that increasingly ignores international rules." Does the spokesman have any comments? Zhang Xiaogang: Canada's remarks subvert black and white and run counter to the facts, and we firmly oppose this. Not long ago, at the Shangri-La Dialogue, Chinese State Councilor and Defense Minister Li Shangfu clearly proposed that China should implement the Global Security Initiative and advocate the establishment of an open, inclusive, transparent and equal framework for regional security cooperation. To contribute China's wisdom and strength to the maintenance of world and regional peace and stability. On the other hand, Canada frequently sent military planes to China for face-to-face reconnaissance, and traveled thousands of miles with US ships to sail through the Taiwan Strait to show off their force. The international community can see clearly who is the "positive energy" of world peace and who is the "saboteur" of global security. We urge Canada to correct its understanding of China, be cautious in its words and deeds on China-related issues, and do more things conducive to regional peace and stability.
