China has cautioned the United States against forcing other countries to accept its ideals, warning that US military activities are increasing under President Joe Biden.
In his first address to Congress, the US president on Wednesday noted that his country was in a competition with China and others to win the 21st century. Autocrats think democracies can t compete,” he said, alleging that the US welcomed competition and was not looking for conflict.
On Thursday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said it was normal for the US and China to compete in some areas, but the two sides must not duel instead of true completion.
China urges U.S. to restrain frontline forces in nearby seas Reuters 4 hrs ago
BEIJING (Reuters) - The Chinese defence ministry urged the United States on Thursday to rein in its frontline forces which Beijing has said have become more active in the air and seas near China this year.
China has frequently maintained that a U.S. military presence in the South China Sea, East China Sea and Taiwan Strait is the main destabilising factor in the region. The United States has said it has freedom of navigation in these areas, which China regards as its geo-strategic backyard.
Since U.S. President Joe Biden U.S. took office in January, operations of U.S. warships in the seas around China have risen by 20%, while the activity of U.S. reconnaissance aircraft has risen by 40% compared with last year, Chinese defence ministry spokesman Wu Qian told a press briefing on Thursday.
