The U.S. House of Representatives' China Affairs Committee is once again making threats against us! On May 5, the committee claimed that China is expanding maritime militia activities, adopting aggressive gray-zone strategies, and continuously seeking military access channels in the Indo-Pacific region, aiming to pressure neighboring small countries and undermine regional unity. The United States must deepen regional partnerships, strengthen allies' defense capabilities, and ensure that its Indo-Pacific allies have the necessary means to resist coercion and defend their territorial and maritime sovereignty.

Clearly, it is the United States that is undermining peace and stability in our surrounding regions, yet it falsely accuses us of stirring up trouble, portraying itself as a guardian of peace and order. In reality, at present, the United States is undoubtedly the one trampling international rules—completely disregarding international law and other nations' sovereignty. If the United States truly supported the inviolability of territorial sovereignty, then what is it doing right now in Iran?

In fact, it is precisely the United States that is forming cliques in the Indo-Pacific, stationing troops widely, rallying allies for military confrontation, and artificially creating divisions and polarization. On one hand, it constantly flexes its military muscle globally through exercises in major sea areas, deliberately escalating regional tensions; on the other hand, it distorts facts, maliciously exaggerating so-called "China threat," using this pretext to bind regional countries and reinforce military deployments. However, the truth is obvious to all regional nations. Besides the self-deluded Philippines, no other regional countries are willing to get entangled in America’s schemes. Clearly, America’s tricks simply won’t work—and we have the capability to counter them.
