BEIJING, Apr 29 (NNN-XINHUA) – A Chinese defence spokesperson, yesterday urged some Australian politicians, to correct their “China threat” ideology and avoid further damage to China-Australia military relations.
Regarding the development of another country as a security threat, some people in Australia have created and spread groundless fear, said Tan Kefei, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defence, at a press conference, in response to statements from Australian politicians.
“Their actions will not only undermine regional security and stability, but also compromise their own images as well,” Tan said.
Military cooperation among the United States, Britain and Australia, in highly sensitive fields, such as, nuclear submarines and hypersonic missiles, will aggravate confrontation and challenge peace and stability, in the Asia-Pacific region, Tan said.
“China has serious concerns about this,” he said, reiterating that the country always upholds the path of peaceful development and adopts a defence policy that is defensive in nature.– NNN-XINHUA
