Reacting to US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin’s remarks that the world witnesses “bullying and coercion” from Beijing, China Tuesday said the US resorts to all types of measures for coercion and hegemony instead.

Spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in India Wang Xiaojian said China is a contributor to world peace and prosperity.

“It is the US, not China, who resorts to all types of measures for coercion and hegemony. Victims to US coercion and bullying include its allies and partners, with developing countries bearing the brunt of it,” Wang tweeted.

Stating that the current China-India border situation is stable, he said the boundary question is a matter between China and India, and brooks no interference of any third party.

Austin Monday told a section of the media that there is bullying and coercion from China, and the Russian aggression against Ukraine is seeking to redraw borders by force and threatens national sovereignty as well as transnational challenges such as terrorism and climate change.

“Preserving and protecting the freedoms that are essential to peace and prosperity will require vigorous leadership from the United States and India. And we still have a lot of work to do, but I am confident that the US-India partnership will help to secure an open and prosperous future for the Indo-Pacific and the wider world,” he had said.

At the Shangri-La Security Summit in Singapore, he had said that the conflict in Taiwan Strait would be devastating.

“Our policy is constant and firm. It has held true across US administrations. And we will continue to categorically oppose unilateral changes to the status quo from either side,” he said.
