The Chinese Foreign Ministry called out Quad nations—the U.S., Japan, Australia, and India—for 'manufacturing tensions' in the Asia-Pacific during a press briefing Monday. Spokesperson Lin Jian accused the group of undermining regional peace by promoting 'exclusive clubs' and military posturing. 🚨
'They claim to support a free Indo-Pacific, but their actions incite division,' Lin stated, emphasizing China's commitment to resolving disputes through dialogue. He criticized 'countries outside the region' for deploying military assets to the South China Sea, calling it a 'threat to stability.' 🌊
Lin urged external powers to respect regional efforts for peace instead of 'fanning flames.' China, he reiterated, prioritizes cooperation over confrontation. 🤝
