What we don’t seek is efforts by any country, whether China or Russia, to disrupt peace & security

Blinken Press conference In Phnom Penh on August 5. “What we don’t seek, and what we don’t want, are efforts by any country, whether it’s China with regard to Taiwan or the South China Sea, or Russia in terms of its aggression against Ukraine, to disrupt international peace and security because it’s incredibly dangerous, it violates basic principles that undergird relations between countries – for example, sovereignty, territorial integrity, independence – and it takes time, focus, and attention away from the things that our people want us to be working on together. So that was one of the cases that I also made today with the Chinese foreign minister, the Russian foreign minister, and all of our colleagues from ASEAN.”
