In response to the concerns raised by the United States regarding China's deployment of submarine cables in the Pacific region, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian made a public response at a regular press conference on the 28th. He stated that international submarine cables are important civilian infrastructure, related to the construction of global network connectivity, and closely related to the vital interests of people in various countries.

Deliberately politicizing and securitizing the issue of submarine cable cooperation seriously violates objective facts, not only disrupts the normal international market order and undermines cross-border cooperation rules, but also hinders the development of global data interconnection, endangers network security and stability, damages the common interests of multiple parties, and has no positive significance.Editor/Min Jing
