Remarks by Ambassador Qin Gang At the Reception Marking the 95th Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Liberation Army of China

Your Excellencies,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Friends,

Good evening! First, let me welcome you all to the Chinese Embassy and to celebrate with us the 95th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China.

The past 95 years has been an extraordinary and glorious journey for the PLA. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the PLA has made remarkable contribution to liberation, independence and national rejuvenation of China. Now China is firmly committed to the path of peaceful development and takes a defense policy that is defensive in nature. Chinese military has always been a champion and contributor to world peace. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, China has never initiated any war or conflict, and never occupied a single inch of other country’s territory. China is the second biggest financial contributor of UN peacekeeping budget and the largest troop contributor among Permanent Members of the UN Security Council. China has altogether dispatched almost 50,000 troops to 25 peacekeeping operations, and sent over 120 vessels in escort missions for more than 7,000 Chinese and foreign ships. 16 Chinese peacekeepers have laid down their lives while on duty in other countries.

Friends,

The world is facing drastic changes and a pandemic both unseen in a century. Turbulences and crises come up one after another. Traditional and non-traditional security challenges keep emerging. Deficits in peace, security, trust and governance are on the rise. All pose unprecedented challenges to human society. Against this backdrop, President Xi Jinping has put forward the Global Security Initiative, calling on countries to abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, address the complex and intertwined security challenges with the win-win mindset, adapt to the changing international landscape in the spirit of cooperation, and create a new path to security that features dialogue over confrontation, partnership over alliance and win-win over zero-sum.

Friends,

This year marks the 50th anniversary of President Richard Nixon’s visit to China. 50 years ago, the elder generation of Chinese and American leaders showed extraordinary wisdom and vision, and opened the gate of engagement for our two countries, ushering in 50 years of shared peace and prosperity.

Fifty years later today, the China-US relationship is at a new crossroads. Some people say that China and the US cannot avoid the “Thucydides’ trap” and the “tragedy of major-power politics”. Some assert that we will enter into a new Cold War. With the lessons of major-country conflict and confrontation still fresh in our memory, we should say a categorical “no” to these assertions, and jointly explore a way of peaceful coexistence of two major countries with different social systems, development paths, history and cultures on this planet.

President Xi Jinping and President Joe Biden have agreed that China and the US should respect each other, coexist peacefully, strengthen communication, constructively manage differences, prevent conflict, enhance cooperation, and take China-US relations back the track of healthy development.

The Taiwan question has always been the most important and sensitive core issue in China-US relations. The Chinese government values peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and has been making utmost efforts for peaceful reunification. However, the “Taiwan independence” separatist forces and their activities pose the biggest threat to cross-Strait peace and stability. If anyone tries to separate Taiwan from China, if anyone wants to challenge China’s bottom line, Chinese military will take forceful measures to firmly safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Maintaining the stability of military-to-military relations is essential to China-US relations. Since April, our militaries have had three high-level exchanges in the form of phone calls and in-person meetings, laying a good foundation for our next-step interactions. It’s hoped that the two sides will make joint efforts to strengthen communication, build military mutual trust, manage risks and crises, and advance cooperation in areas of shared interests, such as counter-terrorism, peacekeeping, military medicine, and military environmental protection, so as to contribute to the stable development of our bilateral, including mil-to-mil, relations.

Friends,

I wish to use today’s occasion to bid farewell to our Defense Attache Major General Zhang Li, who will leave his post soon, and also welcome Major General Liu Zhan, his successor. General Zhang is a seasoned military diplomat. He has been posted to the US, the UK and Thailand for almost 20 years, with 12 years in the United States. He has played an important role in the military engagement between our two countries during his tenure here. General Zhang, your contribution will not be forgotten. I would hate to say goodbye to you, just as all our colleagues, but I also congratulate you on your successful tenure in the past four years and a half, and I wish you well in the future. General Liu Zhan is also an experienced and capable military diplomat. He was posted to the US twice before, and served as Chinese Defense Attache to Iraq and Brazil. I believe that General Liu, as General Zhang did, will establish sound working relations and communication channels with our American colleagues and all of you present, and contribute to the stable development of China-US mil-to-mil relations.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends,

Let me propose a toast,

To the 95th anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Liberation Army,

To the healthy and stable development of China-US relations,

To the friendly exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and US militaries,

And to your health,

Cheers!

Take a look at Qing (Manchu), and Yuan (Mongol) dynasties that once became rulers of China who identified themselves as Chinese not Mongol or Manchu, they adopted Chinese Civilization, Language and Culture.

A civilization-based state like China (the only one that has lasted 5,000 years and still going strong), and unlike the Roman Empire, does not use brut forces to conquer and rule. China may have ups and downs but it will never vanish like the Roman Empire. Unlike AngloSaxon nations such as the United States which proclaims “in God We Trust” when its elites are really just using God to brainwash people to rule.

Civilization is something you adopt, grow up with, translates your daily life through foods, rituals such as Chinese New Year, Moon Festival, remembering your Chinese roots, not to shame your family name and so on, with no preaching or brainwashing needed. It is observed by all 56 races in China united as one nation under one civilization.

For the same reasons, 50 millions overseas Chinese holding foreign passports from more than 100 countries identify themselves as Chinese held together by Chinese civilization and not by their passports.

That is why throughout modern Chinese history, when China needs help, overseas Chinese always responded readily, no exceptions.

There is no nation, ethnic group or races could imitate or copy the Chinese.

That is why Henry Kissinger said don’t make China the US enemy, the US will not win.

That is also why Napoleon said when China wakes up she will shake the world.

Throughout 5,000 years of Chinese history, unlike the AngloSaxons, Chinese don’t go out to take colonies, no slaves, no robbing of poor nations, no stealing of weaker nations natural resources, no gunboats policy, won’t interfere with the internal affairs of any nations, etc. That is just part of the Chinese civilization and culture.

When US accuses China with all the fake news and propaganda it is merely looking at herself in the mirror. For all the horrific things Americans have done it assumes that China would do the same. How wrong and foolish could that be!?
