CCTV News: On the afternoon of April 24, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference, and Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, answered questions from reporters.
Reporter: According to reports, the US Secretary of Defense said that China is forming a military specifically designed to destroy the United States. China's hypersonic missiles can destroy all US aircraft carriers in 20 minutes. Every war deduction held by the Pentagon has lost to China. The commander of the US Indo-Pacific headquarters said that China's speed in producing fighter jets and warships is far faster than that of the US military and has the ability to prevent the United States from gaining air superiority in the "first island chain". What is the spokesperson’s comment?
Zhang Xiaogang: Some people in the United States always look at the Chinese military with tinted glasses and exaggerate the so-called "Chinese military threat". I think this is the obstacle to the current interaction between China and the United States. Non-conflict, non-confrontation, and peaceful coexistence are the most basic common interests of China and the United States and the general expectation of the people of the world. We have a clear understanding of our own development and hope that the US side will not have "persecution paranoia" and always use others as excuses.
