China concerned about U.S. plan to base long-range bombers in Australia

China on Wednesday expressed concern over reports that the United States plans to base long-range bombers in Australia within striking distance of the South China Sea.

Relevant countries should comply with the trends and people's wishes in the Asia-Pacific region, which feature the pursuit of peace, cooperation and development, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a daily news briefing.

Hong said any kind of bilateral cooperation should not harm the interests of a third party.
