the declaration names china as challenging the international order
china says,
1, US-Japan don't define the international order, only the UN is the international order
2, china is strategic partner of 112 countries, it doesn't threaten peace, US was at war for 234 years of its 250 year history
3, US and Japan ignore the history and facts of regional disputes, the US sails warships 8300 miles from home, it spies close to other's territory while displaying military threats, in doing this US and Japan frolick in bed together
4, US and Japan want to create a clique of confrontation. it will move away from trends of the times and bring back chaos
5, because Japan narrowly focuses on its grudges, it's willing to shamelessly pant before the US breath, it brought the wolf into the bedroom as it sells out Asia's overall interests.
6, US and Japan should stop, China will take any needed action to defend its interests
