Today (December 1st), a moment at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
???????? Australian Broadcasting Corporation reporter: The Australian defense minister said that Australia is monitoring a Chinese naval fleet located in the "Philippine Sea" and stated that this fleet may be planning to sail around Australian waters. Can the spokesperson provide relevant information about the specific activities and destination of this fleet? What is the response to Australia's position?
???????? Spokesperson Lin Jian of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China: "Regarding the activities of the Chinese navy, it is recommended to consult the competent authorities. It should be noted that the Chinese fleet has always respected and abided by international law and conducted maritime activities according to international law."
[Witty] Comment: The way Australia acts with a sense of imminent danger is really ridiculous! Previously, when the US and Australia colluded, their navy cooperated with the US military to provoke recklessly in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, why didn't they lower the tune of "freedom of navigation" even a little? Now, when the Chinese navy is normally active in international waters, it is merely exercising its legal rights within the framework of international law, but Australia is jumping up and down, monitoring and hyping it up, isn't this a typical case of "the local official can set fire, but the people cannot light a lamp"? Australia itself knows clearly that its navy's provocative actions in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait have already seriously undermined regional peace and stability, which is an overt hegemonic act. Now, however, it is trying to blame China, falsely accusing the Chinese navy, which is not only double standards, but also due to its own anxiety!
