China's Foreign Ministry announced Monday that Beijing is ready to offer necessary humanitarian assistance to the United States after two U.S. Navy aircraft crashed into the South China Sea.
At a press briefing in Beijing, spokesperson Guo Jiakun called the frequent deployment of U.S. warships and military planes “the root cause of maritime security risks and the disruption of regional peace and stability.”
The pledge of support comes amid heightened scrutiny of naval exercises in one of the world’s most strategic waterways, where routine patrols have sparked debate over safety and sovereignty.
While the two sides navigate broader geopolitical tensions, China’s assurance of aid underscores a rare moment of cooperation in the wake of a serious accident. The incident serves as a reminder that even amid rivalry, humanitarian concerns can bridge divides.
