BEIJING, Oct 29 (APP): A spokesperson of Chinese defense ministry Thursday said the development of United States (US) and India’s relations should help maintain regional peace and stability and should not be directed at any other country.

We believe that the development of US-India relations should help maintain regional peace and stability and should not be directed at any other country,” Colonel Wu Qian said during his monthly briefing in his response to a question about the third “2+2” Ministerial Dialogue between the US and India held in New Delhi.
Regarding the so-called US alliance system, he said, this is a product of the Cold War period and added, “It embodies the outdated Cold War mentality and the zero-sum game concept of losing or losing. China has always firmly opposed this.”
He said the world today has entered a new era of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win, adding, “Pursuing our own absolute security while ignoring the security concerns of other countries is simply not feasible.”

He said in terms of food, it is equipped with new food insulation equipment and tried new high-altitude field foods. It can effectively self-heat at an altitude of 3,000 meters and a temperature above -30.
A batch of new insulated vegetable cellars integrating moisture-proof, anti-freeze, and fresh-keeping functions have been built and put into use.
The spokesperson said the UAVs are used to load fresh fruits and vegetables and deliver them to the duty station to solve the problem of inconvenience in replenishment of materials such as walking relays.

The use of high-tech means will help build logistical support capabilities and push the troops to deepen their preparations for war,” he added.
