According to a message from the WeChat official account of the Chinese Embassy in South Korea on November 20, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in South Korea responded to the erroneous remarks made by U.S. officials.
Question: On November 20, the U.S. Ambassador to South Korea, acting, publicly stated that the U.S. and South Korea need to jointly address the escalating regional challenges, which can be understood through the incident in the Yellow Sea; therefore, the U.S. and South Korean leaders have decided to respond by increasing South Korea's defense spending and introducing nuclear-powered submarines. Previously, a senior U.S. military official also publicly stated that the cooperation between the U.S. and South Korea on nuclear-powered submarines is aimed at containing China. What is the comment of the embassy spokesperson on this?
Answer: I have noted the comments made by the U.S. Ambassador to South Korea, acting, and senior U.S. military officials, and I am surprised and dissatisfied with them. Recently, the leaders of China and the United States, China and South Korea, and the United States and South Korea held meetings in South Korea respectively, and the relevant comments by U.S. officials clearly contradict the spirit of the consensus reached by the leaders. We hope that the U.S. will do more to promote the relations between China and the United States, China and South Korea, and the United States and South Korea, and not provoke trouble.
