Leaders of the International Military Cooperation Office of the Central Military Commission have a video call with the US Assistant Secretary of Defense at an appointment

On May 17th, on the evening of May 16th, Beijing time, the leaders of the International Military Cooperation Office of the Central Military Commission made a video call with the US Assistant Secretary of Defense. The Chinese side pointed out that under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, the Chinese and US militaries have strengthened communication and exchanges, injecting positive factors into the relationship between the two militaries, which is hard-won and worth cherishing by both sides. The two militaries should adhere to mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation, which is the correct way to get along. The Chinese side emphasizes that the US-Taiwan military collusion and the separatist "Taiwan independence" forces are the main source of chaos that undermines the current stability of the Taiwan Strait, and the Chinese military is unswerving in its determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity; the US intervenes and encourages "proxies" to stir up trouble and disputes in the South China Sea, and China's rights protection actions are completely legitimate and legal; the US deployment of land-based intermediate missiles seriously endangers regional security, and if it goes its own way, it will definitely be countered by China.
