China’s Defence Minister Wei Fenghe on Monday made a veiled attack on the US for its alleged interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
In his keynote address at the opening ceremony of the ninth Beijing Xiangshan Forum, Wei vowed that China would never succumb to external pressure, reports Efe news.
“Intervening in regional affairs, meddling in other countries’ internal affairs, inciting a ‘colour revolution’ and even subverting the legitimate political power of other countries are the real source of regional chaos and wars,” Wei said in statements reported by state-run Global Times.
The Minister, who did not mention Washington directly in his speech, has accused US politicians on previous occasions of supporting the protests in Hong Kong.
