BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s foreign ministry on Thursday decried a new U.S.-Britain-Australia security partnership that will involve helping Canberra acquire nuclear-powered submarines, saying the three countries are damaging regional peace and stability.
China will closely monitor the situation, ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a daily news briefing in Beijing.
