“Facts have proven that any attempt to contain or block China is doomed to fail,” defence ministry spokesman Jiang Bin told a news briefing.
The United States’ 2026 National Defense Strategy (NDS), released last week, said Washington would “deter China in the Indo-Pacific through strength, not confrontation”.
The new document however urges “respectful relations” with Beijing — while making no mention of US ally Taiwan, which China claims as its territory.
Jiang, the defence spokesman, urged the United States to “stop saying one thing while doing the opposite on issues concerning China’s core interests” and vowed to “resolutely safeguard” them.
