On May 27, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked a question about the "Quadrilateral Mechanism" of the United States, Japan, India, and Australia expressing concerns about the current situation in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.
In this regard, Mao Ning said that the current situation in the East China Sea and the South China Sea remains generally stable, and there are no problems with the freedom of navigation and overflight enjoyed by all countries in accordance with the law. Relevant countries should stop interfering in maritime-related issues surrounding China and truly respect the efforts of regional countries to maintain peace and stability. It is unpopular to form a "small circle", exaggerate tension, and provoke confrontation.
