Cooperation between the United States and Japan must not harm any third party's interests, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said Tuesday at a daily press conference.
His remarks came after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin visited Japan and held talks with Japanese officials. China was called a "threat," while parties involved expressed their commitment to "opposing coercion and destabilizing behavior."
"We believe that the U.S.-Japan cooperation should boost mutual trust and understanding as well as benefit regional peace and stability," Zhao said.
