National Defense Authorization Act 2024 Is Opposed By China
China strongly opposes and deplores the United States’ passing and signing of the National Defense Authorization Act 2024, which includes content that negatively addresses China. The Chinese government believes that the National Defense Authorization Act 2024 interferes with their internal affairs.
The National Defense Authorization Act 2024 also supports Taiwan militarily which violates the one-China principle and previous joint communique between China and the U.S. China urges the U.S. to honor its commitment of not supporting Taiwan’s independence, stop manipulating the Taiwan issue, and cease jeopardizing peace in the Taiwan Strait by canceling the National Defense Authorization Act 2024.
Additionally, China believes that the National Defense Authorization Act 2024 portrays them as a threat, suppresses Chinese companies, and restricts normal economic and people-to-people exchanges with the U.S., which is not beneficial to either country.
China calls on the U.S. to cancel the National Defense Authorization Act 2024, abandon a Cold War mentality and ideological bias, and create a conducive environment for cooperation in trade and other areas.
According to a published article by China.org.cn, China requests that the U.S. adhere to the outcomes and understandings of the San Francisco summit and not implement negative China-related content in the National Defense Authorization Act 2024.
If the U.S. proceeds with the National Defense Authorization Act 2024, China is prepared to take strong measures to safeguard its sovereignty, security, and development rights and interests.
