United States: The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, Zhao Lijian, reacted to the new appearance of a United States warship in the strait that separates the Asian giant from the island of Taiwan, Radio Rebelde reports.
Lijian denounced that it is not the first time that the US naval forces show their power around that area, with the argument of freedom of navigation to justify their provocations.
The diplomat commented that the actions of the United States Navy have nothing to do with a free and open Indo-Pacific, as claimed by the Seventh Fleet of the Northern Nation’s Navy, but rather represent an intentional intervention.
The Ministry of Defense of Russia denounced that throughout November the military aviation of the United States carried out some thirty flights in the vicinity of the national borders of the Slavic country.
The high military commander denounced that during this type of exercises, the crews of ten strategic bombers rehearsed an eventual attack with nuclear weapons against Russia, practically at the same time from the west and the east.
The Russian Defense Minister, Sergei Shoigu, considered that the maneuvers of the United States aviation near the eastern borders of his country create a threat not only for Moscow, but also for China.
