Beijing: US provocations are bulliness and intimidation at their best, China responding lawfully

CNR: US Indo-Pacific coordinator Kurt Campbell said on June 6 that episodes like what he called “dangerous” navigation by a Chinese destroyer in the Taiwan Strait showed the need “to prevent circumstances where unintended consequences can have terrible consequences.” US Democratic Senator Ben Cardin said that “what China is doing is against international law”, and “we’ve got to stand up to China’s bulliness; we cannot allow them to get away with this type of intimidation.” How does the Chinese side respond to this? Wang Wenbin: Speaking of bulliness and intimidation, the US knows them better than any other country in the world. It is reported that last year alone, large US reconnaissance aircraft conducted over 800 close-in flights to spy on China. Last year, the US also sent aircraft carrier strike groups to the South China Sea and areas nearby multiple times. Brandishing its military prowess, the US willfully flexes its muscles and infringes upon other countries’ sovereignty. This is what bulliness and intimidation at their best. This is the source of maritime and air security risks and dangers to regional peace and stability.  Faced with US military provocations, China has responded in accordance with laws and regulations. These actions are completely justified and lawful, and have nothing to do with “bulliness”. When it comes to safeguarding China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, there is no room for China to concede or back down. This is absolutely not a case of “bulliness” or “intimidation”. This is about standing up for principles and China’s red line. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents. Nobody knows SHANGHAI better than us.
