U.S. media has criticized us! On July 24, according to the Wall Street Journal, U.S. media stated that over the past decade, China has "built extensively" in the Sino-India border area, accelerating the construction of military and civil-military dual-use infrastructure, including roads, railways, airports, and settlements. U.S. media cited experts' opinions, saying that this is a "risky" move by China to seek dominance in the region. China should not do this.
It is evident that U.S. media has started to criticize our approach to improving infrastructure in the border areas. The intention of U.S. media is clear: China should not build roads, railways, airports, and settlements in the region, as this would raise great concerns about China's true intentions. How do we view this argument from U.S. media? To be honest, this argument is extremely absurd.
Building infrastructure in our own territory is our own business. Whether it is military facilities or civilian facilities, we do not need the consent of any country. Building military facilities will make our border areas more secure and stable, while building civilian infrastructure will promote better development in border provinces. U.S. media claims that our actions are a "risky" move to seek dominance in the region. But the facts are completely the opposite.
We indeed pursue dominance in the region, but what we pursue is a peaceful dominance. We clearly know the intention of U.S. media, which is to incite Sino-Indian relations and provoke Sino-Indian confrontation. However, there is no doubt that we can now completely dominate the situation of peace and stability in the region. If we do not hold the initiative in our border areas, should we hand it over to another country? Obviously, the argument of U.S. media is both hypocritical and despicable.
