According to CoinMeta, Li Chijiang, China's Ambassador for Disarmament Affairs, firmly refuted on the 11th at the Geneva Disarmament Conference (referred to as the CD) the so-called joint statement by the US representatives regarding "ballistic missile launches" that implicated China. He emphasized that China's legitimate and reasonable national defense modernization efforts are beyond doubt, and that China's good-will measure of notifying in advance about missile launches should not be exploited for geopolitical calculations; China firmly opposes individual countries from abusing the platform of the CD for political manipulations.
