The Chinese Foreign Ministry says the U.S. stance will only stir up confrontation and pose a threat to Asia's stability. Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin says the U.S. side is exaggerating the so-called "China threat," and at the same time, insisting it does not seek conflict with China. He says this contradictory practice is inconsistent with the spirit of the dialogue between the leaders of the two sides, and the United States should promote cooperation in the region, instead of "drawing ideological lines."
