China Expresses Strong Dissatisfaction with U.S. Defense Authorization Act
The Chinese National People's Congress Foreign Affairs Committee spokesperson, Xu Dong, expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to the '2026 Fiscal Year National Defense Authorization Act' signed into law by the U.S. The act is criticized for containing negative content about China, promoting an anti-China narrative, interfering in China’s internal affairs, and harming China’s core interests. China urges the U.S. to view its development and bilateral relations objectively, discard zero-sum thinking and ideological bias, and not to implement the negative clauses concerning China. If the U.S. persists, China will take strong measures to defend its sovereignty, security, and development interests.
