On the date, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian presided over the regular press conference. A journalist inquired about the United States' hype regarding "preparing for space warfare." In response, Lin Jian stated that China has always adhered to the peaceful use of outer space, opposes the arms race in space, and opposes the weaponization of space. China has no intention of engaging in a "space race" with any country and does not seek so-called "space superiority."

The United States openly defines outer space as a "battlefield," continuously expanding its space military capabilities, forming space military alliances, and promoting the militarization of outer space, which seriously threatens the common security and development rights of all countries in outer space. We urge the U.S. to cease spreading irresponsible rhetoric, halt its arms buildup in outer space, and make its due contribution to maintaining lasting peace and security in outer space.
