China will not allow war or chaos in Asia-Pacific region, says8k8 com login ph Defense Minister

China will not allow any country or force to create war or chaos in the Asia-Pacific region, Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun said in Singapore on Sunday.

He made this remarks in his keynote speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue.

Dong emphasized that the development, achievements and stability of the Asia-Pacific region have not come easily. "These are the results of the collective wisdom and joint efforts of the people in the region and should be highly cherished."

"We do not allow hegemonism and power politics to harm the Asia-Pacific region, we do not allow geopolitical conflicts or cold and hot wars in the region, and we do not allow any country or force to create war and chaos here," he said.

The defense chief said that in the face of common security challenges, no country can remain unaffected, and there is no such thing as absolute security or exclusive security, noting that there is a long-standing tradition of "helping neighbors in need".

Despite the ups and downs over the decades, common development and win-win cooperation have always been the mainstream trend, he said, saying that decoupling and building "a small yard with high fences" have no market in the Asia-Pacific region.

"People yearn for unity, cooperation and a peaceful life, and the military forces of various countries need to protect this aspiration," Dong added.
