Investing.com -- In a recent statement, the Chinese military has assured that it will respond to any "dangerous and provocative" acts, as per existing laws and regulations. This message was conveyed to the U.S., as reported by the Chinese navy last Thursday.

On April 2 and 3, a maritime military security consultation mechanism working group meeting was held in Shanghai between the two nations. This meeting was mentioned in the statement.

The Chinese side raised concerns over the exercises conducted by U.S. warships and aircraft in China’s "immediate" airspace and maritime areas. They expressed that these activities could easily lead to misunderstanding and misjudgment, thereby posing a threat to China’s sovereignty and military security.

The statement further emphasized that China will "resolutely safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests". It seems clear that China is committed to protecting its territorial integrity and maritime interests, and will respond to any acts it perceives as threatening or provocative.
