China accuses US of trying to ‘hijack’ support in Asia
Fox News
China's defense minister lashed out at U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin Lloyd and accused the U.S. of trying to "hijack" Asia-Pacific countries' support against Beijing.
Austin had stressed the need for multilateral partnerships with nations in the Indo-Pacific, which Wei suggested was an attempt to back China into a corner.
"No country should impose its will on others or bully others under the guise of multilateralism," Wei said. "The strategy is an attempt to build an exclusive small group in the name of a free and open Indo-Pacific to hijack countries in our region and target one specific country. It is a strategy to create conflict and confrontation to contain and encircle others."
