Beijing sounds warning against foreign interference at annual security forum

BEIJING - China's Defence Minister Wei Fenghe sounded a thinly veiled warning against the United States at a security conference in Beijing, saying that interfering in the internal affairs of others and inciting colour revolutions have led to wars and turbulence in various regions in the world.

"Interference in the affairs of other regions, and the internal affairs of others, inciting colour revolutions, and attempts to overthrow the lawful government of other countries are the true causes of wars and turbulence in some regions," said Gen Wei. "In the age of economic globalisation, no country can afford to retreat to self-isolation. Bending international rules as one sees fit can only undermine the international order," said Gen Wei.

Beijing has said that officials are working on the text of an agreement - expected to be inked by Mr Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit next month in Chile. But his tone turned forceful on the topic of Taiwan, saying that the"Taiwan question" was China's greatest national interest and that no force could prevent the country's"reunification".

Other defence chiefs, including Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, also took potshots at the US when they took to the podium at the China-led summit.
