Response to US Building 'Iron Dome' Defense System

On the afternoon of February 27, a regular press conference was held. The director of the Press Bureau and the spokesperson answered questions from the press.

Question: According to media reports, the US government has announced the construction of an air - defense system, which some also call the 'Golden Dome', to address the special challenges posed by the hypersonic weapons of China and Russia to the existing US defense systems. Some analysts believe that this move by the US may trigger a nuclear arms race that undermines global stability. What's your comment?

Answer: What the US needs is not an 'Iron Dome', but to break through the 'Iron Curtain' that restricts its own thinking. China urges the US to abandon the Cold - War mentality, stop hyping up threats from other countries, and stop creating military confrontations.
