China has accused the United States, Japan, and South Korea of attempting to resurrect the Cold War in the wake of a recent summit among their leaders held at Camp David.
According to Wang Wenbin, the spokesperson for China’s foreign ministry, a strong protest has been formally registered with the concerned parties to convey China’s deep displeasure and unwavering opposition to these developments.
The accusations came after a meeting at the retreat of US President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, where they committed to bolstering security.
During this gathering, they also criticised China’s perceived “risky and belligerent” actions in the South China Sea, while advocating for tranquillity and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
Wang stated that the allusions made to Taiwan and the South China Sea should be seen as an outright “assault” on Beijing.
He further asserted that Washington was inciting discord and rivalry, and was actively engaged in reviving Cold War sentiments in the Asia-Pacific region through alliances such as Aukus, the Quad, and agreements with Japan and South Korea.
