Improve the level of practical training of the troops through mutual learning.
Reporter: According to reports, the American Association Research Center recently released a report saying that the Chinese Navy has been promoting modernization in recent years and is increasingly active in distant waters such as the Western Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The Chinese Navy poses a major challenge to the US Navy, which is the first time the US Navy has faced such a challenge since the end of the Cold War. What is your comment on this?
Wu Qian: The Chinese military has always faithfully practiced the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, actively fulfilled the international responsibilities of the military of a major country, and strived to provide more public safety products to the international community. The Chinese Navy sent a fleet of ships to the Gulf of Aden and Somalia to carry out normalized escort operations, and actively participated in humanitarian rescue operations such as assisting Indonesia in salvage of wrecked submarines. The Peace Ark hospital ship went overseas for many times to carry out medical assistance tasks. This is a fact that the international community has seen.
The US side hyped the so-called "China military threat" without reason, which is nothing more than creating public opinion to suppress and curb China and making excuses to seek its own absolute military advantage. The US's words and deeds reflect its arrogance and prejudice of "only state officials are allowed to set fires and not the people are allowed to light lamps", and China does not accept this. We ask the US to stop its wrong practices, let the truth speak, and let the lies shut up.
Reporter: It is reported that the US Navy's "Victory" marine monitoring ship has been conducting high-intensity operations in the waters near the Xisha Islands since entering the South China Sea in early June. Some analysts believe that the ship may be to monitor the activities of Chinese military ships, and it is necessary to be highly vigilant. What is China’s comment on this?
Wu Qian: Since the beginning of this year, the intensity of US military's close-up reconnaissance activities on China has continued to rise. Several US Navy marine survey ships have gone to the South China Sea to carry out operations, and have conducted nearly 2,000 close-up reconnaissances on China at sea and air. We firmly oppose this by the relevant actions of the US side that harm China's security interests, threaten freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, aggravate the "militarization" of the South China Sea, and undermine regional peace and stability. The Chinese military has mastered and closely monitored the U.S. trends throughout the process, and has always maintained a high alert state.
Reporter: Recently, the United States has been exposed to use Danish intelligence agencies to monitor the leaders of allies. The Russian Foreign Ministry said this is just the tip of the iceberg. It is also reported that the US Cyber Command has recently significantly increased its cyber intelligence operations budget and has begun to form a new cyber mission force. What is your comment on this?
Wu Qian: For a long time, relevant US agencies have carried out large-scale, organized and indiscriminate cyber espionage, surveillance and attacks on foreign governments, enterprises and individuals. From "WikiLeaks" to "Snowden Incident", from "Swiss Crypto Machine Incident" to the recent use of Danish intelligence agencies to monitor leaders of allies, facts have repeatedly proved that the United States is the world-recognized "Matrix" "And the "Empression of Secrets" are the biggest threat to global cybersecurity.
In addition, the United States spares no effort to promote the militarization of cyberspace and vigorously develops its cyber offensive forces. According to Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, the United States has developed more than 2,000 types of cyber weapons, making it the world's number one cyber weapons power.
We call on the international community to jointly oppose the US cyber bullying, urge the US to explain its surveillance actions and stop creating tension and hostility in global cyberspace. China will take necessary measures to resolutely defend national cyber sovereignty, information security and social stability.
reporter: At present, the global epidemic continues to spread, and cases of infection with the mutant strain "Delta" were found in many places. Please introduce the international cooperation between China's military in fighting the epidemic since the outbreak.
Wu Qian: After the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Chinese military faithfully practiced the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind and actively participated in international cooperation in fighting the epidemic. The leaders of the Central Military Commission and the leaders of many countries sent letters and telephone calls on anti-epidemic cooperation. The Chinese military provided assistance to the epidemic prevention materials, dispatched military anti-epidemic expert groups, and held video conferences on exchanges of epidemic prevention and control experiences, etc. The armies of many countries have carried out international cooperation in fighting the epidemic.
Since February this year, in order to implement President Xi Jinping’s important declaration on using China’s new crown vaccine as a global public product, the Chinese military has successively gone to Pakistan, Cambodia, Mongolia, the Philippines, Congo (Brazza), Equatorial Guinea, Tunisia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, and Laos to Pakistan, Cambodia, Mongolia, the Philippines, the Congo (Brazza), Equatorial Guinea, Tunisia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, and Laos. More than 20 countries including Lebanon, Hungary, Gabon, Ethiopia, North Macedonia, Zimbabwe, Serbia, Mauritania, Guinea, Mozambique and other troops provided 25 batches of vaccine assistance.
President Xi once quoted the famous Russian thinker Chernishevsky: "The road of history is not the sidewalk on Neva Street, it is completely moving in the fields, sometimes through dust, sometimes through mud, sometimes across the swamps , sometimes walking through the jungle. "Similarly, the global fight against the epidemic will not be smooth sailing, and it will inevitably go through various setbacks and hardships. But I firmly believe that as long as the people of all countries unite, implement scientific policies, and overcome difficulties together, we will definitely be able to overcome the epidemic and usher in a better tomorrow.
reporter: According to Australian media reports, the navies of the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan and other countries have carried out the "Saberata-2021" exercise in mid-July. The Australian military has noticed that two reconnaissance ships of the Chinese People's Liberation Army approached the East Coast of Australia. The Australian Defense Minister said that Australia has kept a close eye on this. What is China’s comment on this?
Wu Qian: Chinese ships sailing in the high seas is in line with relevant international law and international practices and is completely legitimate. I hope that Australia will not be nervous and truly respect the rights China enjoys in relevant seas in accordance with international law.
Reporter: US President Biden announced that he would complete the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan on August 31. This has led to a significant turmoil in the domestic security situation in Afghanistan. Some foreign media commented that with the withdrawal of US troops, China may become the next big country to try to write a new chapter in Afghanistan's history. What is China’s comment on this?
Wu Qian: China and Afghanistan are traditional friendly neighbors. On July 16, President Xi Jinping emphasized during a phone call with Afghan President Ghani that China firmly supports the Afghan government in safeguarding national sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, and always believes that political dialogue is the fundamental way for Afghanistan to achieve national reconciliation and lasting peace. China will continue to support the principle of "Afghanistan-led and Afghanistan-owned", support the peace and reconciliation process of Afghanistan, and support the early peaceful reconstruction of Afghanistan.
Since the United States announced its withdrawal from Afghanistan, the security situation in Afghanistan has continued to deteriorate. Facts have repeatedly proved that the United States is the world's largest mess maker and the world-renowned "blame-shifting king". The United States is the initiator of the Afghanistan issue and bears an unshirkable responsibility for the current situation in Afghanistan. It cannot be left alone and throws the "burden" to regional countries. The US should truly assume its responsibilities to ensure a smooth transition in the situation in Afghanistan and avoid chaos and war due to withdrawal.
Reporter: Cambodian military leaders recently expressed congratulations to China on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. Please further introduce the relationship between China and Cambodia.
Wu Qian: The Chinese and Cambodia armies are good brothers who are brothers and good friends who help each other.Some Chinese netizens call Cambodia "Cambodia Steel", describing the friendship between the two sides as strong as steel. In recent years, under the personal guidance and promotion of President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Hun Sen, the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries has developed in depth, and the two armies have maintained good exchanges and cooperation in the fields of military training, personnel training, military service exchanges and other fields. First, high-level exchanges are close. Against the backdrop of the epidemic, senior leaders of the two armies continued to maintain close communication and coordination through video, telephone and letters. Cambodia's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Di Ban, Wang Jiajun Commander-in-Chief Weng Sai, and Minister of Policy and Foreign Affairs of the Ministry of National Defense, Nsova, recently sent letters to China on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. The second is to carry out anti-epidemic cooperation. The Chinese government and military sent a medical expert team to Cambodia to provide anti-epidemic materials and vaccine assistance to Cambodia in multiple consecutive batches. The Cambodia Ministry of Defense also provided anti-epidemic materials assistance to China in the early stages of the outbreak of the epidemic in China last year, which fully demonstrated that The sincere friendship between the two countries and the two armies is in harmony and helping each other. The third is to maintain exchanges in professional fields. In March last year, the joint training of the two armies of China and Cambodia "Golden Dragon-2020" was successfully held in Cambodia. This is the only live-fire training conducted by the Chinese military with foreign troops during the epidemic last year, reflecting the high level of cooperation between the two militaries. In June this year, the Chinese and Cambodia armies held their first video discussion and exchange on the defense white paper. This is the first time that my foreign military has conducted such exchanges in the field of national defense white paper.
Next step, the Chinese military will work together with the Cambodian military to conscientiously implement the important consensus reached by the heads of state of the two countries, maintain pragmatic cooperation between the two militaries in various fields, and promote the relationship between the two militaries to a new level and achieve new development.
Reporter: It is reported that starting from August this year, eligible soldiers will begin to pay parental support subsidies and spouse honor funds. Please confirm and introduce the relevant situation.
Wu Qian: Soldiers shoulder the sacred duty and noble mission of defending national sovereignty, security, development interests and safeguarding the people's peaceful labor, and are professions respected by the whole society. Due to the need to fulfill mission and responsibilities, the military profession is characterized by high risk, high intensity, high mobility and high dedication, and the military family has made great contributions and sacrifices. The establishment and adjustment of the welfare and benefits system for military families will help demonstrate the honor and honor of military professionals, and demonstrate the care and encouragement of the country and the army to the special contributions of military families. It will surely further inspire all officers and soldiers to strive for the military's cause and work hard to prepare for the war and win. .
Reporter: According to reports, the United States and Taiwan have been frequently linked recently. The United States will promote legislation related to Taiwan. US officials have made many erroneous remarks about Taiwan. US military transport planes landed in Taiwan on July 15. At the same time, the People's Liberation Army has continuously increased its military operations in the Taiwan Strait. What is your comment on this?
Wu Qian: Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The one-China principle is the political foundation of Sino-US relations. The US's speech and deeds violate international law and basic norms of international relations, seriously interfere in China's internal affairs, seriously damage China's territorial sovereignty and security interests, and seriously threaten peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. We firmly oppose this. We warn the US that those who play with fire will burn themselves. "Cutting sausages" on the Taiwan issue will only cut their hands. We require the US to abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, immediately stop provocative activities, and not send false signals to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, otherwise all serious consequences caused by this will be borne by the US. We warn the DPP authorities not to misjudgment the situation, take foreign powers to respect themselves, or lead wolves into the house. "Relying on the United States to seek independence" will only lead Taiwan to a dead end, will only harm the Taiwanese people, and will also harm the DPP itself.
China must be unified and must be unified. No one should underestimate the strong determination, firm will and strong ability of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The People's Liberation Army of China has always maintained a high alert state and will take all necessary measures to resolutely crush any separatist plot of "Taiwan independence".
Reporter: It is reported that the British aircraft carrier formation "Queen Elizabeth" recently held a joint exercise with the United States and Japan in the Gulf of Aden, and has now entered the South China Sea. It is also reported that when the British Defense Minister visited Japan, he said that the British army would permanently deploy two warships in Asian waters. What is your comment on this?
Wu Qian: With the joint efforts of China and ASEAN countries, the current situation in the South China Sea has generally stabilized and improved.China respects the freedom of navigation enjoyed by ships of all countries in the South China Sea in accordance with international law, but firmly opposes that some countries have traveled thousands of miles to send warships to show their "presence". The Chinese military will take all necessary measures to respond resolutely and effectively.
Regarding the defense cooperation between Britain and Japan, we believe that this should not be targeted by third parties and should not interfere with the efforts of regional countries to maintain peace and stability.
Reporter: State Councilor and Defense Minister Wei Fenghe said at the video conference of the 8th ASEAN Defense Ministers' Enlarged Meeting held not long ago that China will actively participate in cooperation within the mechanism and make greater contributions to maintaining regional peace and stability. What cooperation has China and ASEAN countries have under this mechanism recently?
Wu Qian: China has always firmly supported the regional defense and security mechanism centered on ASEAN and actively participated in various cooperations in the expansion mechanism of the ASEAN Defense Ministers’ Meeting. In June, State Councilor and Minister of Defense Wei Fenghe attended the video conference of the ASEAN Defense Ministers' Enlarged Meeting. Recently, the Chinese military sent representatives to participate in the video conference of the anti-terrorism expert group and the maritime security expert group under the mechanism, and held work consultations with Cambodia on the chair of the mine-sweeping expert group. In these activities, Chinese representatives actively made suggestions, shared and exchanged experiences, advocated a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable global security concept, which was widely recognized by all parties, achieving the purpose of enhancing mutual trust and promoting cooperation.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of a dialogue relationship between China and ASEAN. The Chinese military will continue to actively participate in cooperation at all levels and in all fields of ASEAN's relevant defense and security cooperation mechanisms, and make greater contributions to the development of China-ASEAN strategic partnership and regional peace, stability and prosperity.
Reporter: Recently, a travel blogger posted a photo of a hero posing next to the tombstone of a hero defending the country and guarding the border in the Kangxiwa Martyrs Cemetery on an online platform, which has caused widespread doubts and he has been investigated. What is your comment on this?
Wu Qian: Heroes are the backbone of the nation and the pioneer of the country. Heroes cannot be desecrated, and laws cannot be provoked. According to the law, acts that infringe on the reputation and honor of heroes and martyrs must bear corresponding civil, administrative and criminal responsibilities. Any act of discrediting a hero will be subject to moral condemnation and severe punishment by law.
Reporter: Recently, some students have posted military academy admission notices online. Some media also reported that some military academies have "cold" in enrollment this year. Please introduce the relevant situation.
Wu Qian: All enrollment work for military colleges and universities this year has been completed, with the completion rate of enrollment plan reaching 99.6%, and the quality of enrollment has been steadily improving compared with previous years. Judging from the number of applicants, 13,000 ordinary high school graduates are planned to be recruited, and nearly 100,000 outstanding young students actually signed up for political assessment and physical examination interviews. Judging from the college entrance examination results, 100% of the freshmen admitted to military academy exceed the first-tier line of each province, and 80% are among the top 5% of the candidates in each province. Taking the National University of Defense Technology as an example, when the number of enrollment increases by 70%, the average admission score exceeds the first-tier line of each province by more than 120 points. It should be noted that since some candidates who filed their physical and psychological conditions do not meet the standards, a small number of volunteers will be arranged to collect volunteers every year. This is not because the source of students is insufficient and the admissions are "cold", the purpose is to give more candidates the opportunity to attend military academy.
The army is a melting pot and a big family. We warmly welcome comrades who are about to enter the military academy. Born in a prosperous era, I hope you will live up to the prosperous era, temper yourself, and become steel. Because in this turbulent era, there is no happiness from equality, only the wonderful things achieved through struggle. Come on, boy!

Wu Qian: In a few days, it will be the 94th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army of China. Over the past 94 years, under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China, the heroic people's army has experienced the smoke of gunpowder and overcome all obstacles, and has made great contributions to the Party and the people. History tells us that insisting on the Party commanding the guns and building its own people's army is an irrefutable truth drawn by the Party in the struggle between blood and fire.
Advancing under the banner of the Party, the people's army is invincible. The entire army will unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, adhere to building the army with politics, strengthening the army with reform, strengthening the army with science and technology, strengthening the army with talents, and governing the army with law, and comprehensively improve the protection of national sovereignty, security, and development interests.
