Gen. Frenghe Wei, Minister of National Defence, China: some countries deliberately create hostility & interfere in the internal affairs of others. #SLD19
Gen. Wei: we have never bullied or preyed in others and we not allow others to bully others or us.#SLD19
Gen. Wei: Since the start of the PRC, China has not started a war or invaded another country. No matter how strong China becomes it will not follow the path of great powers and threaten other countries. China only has a policy or active defence. #SLD19
Gen. Wei: PLA is not afraid of standing up to those who cross the bottom/red line. #SLD19
Speaking about China’s global engagements, Gen. Wei begins with Russia, US, ASEAN and goes on to say China has ‘deepened traditional ties with India-Pakistan and Asian countries’ #SLD19
Talking about Taiwan, Gen. Wei says no country would tolerate secession. If anyone dares to split Taiwan from China, PLA would have no choice but to protect it at all cost. China will be and must be united. No one can stop that. #SLD19
Talking about SCS, Gen. Wei says there are countries who are trying to profit by creating trouble. Otherwise the region is stable and it is credited to the countries in the region. No ships are threatened transiting the SCS. #SLD19
Gen. Wei sends a strong message to external countries in the SCS. Says, it’s ‘we’ the regional countries who are affected directly. Asks should we depend on external powers for our security and development? #SLD19
Gen. Wei says China’s development so for has not been a hand out by others nor was it achieved by engaging in hostile activities. It’s based on commitment and hard work #SLD19
Wish @chipmanj would have taken one question from India for Gen. Wei who kept saying it hasn’t started any war or engaged in hostile activities since the start of the PRC #SLD19
