China rejects US call for phone talks

China said on Thursday that it rejected the United States' request for a phone conversation between the two countries' defense ministers after Washington insisted on using force by shooting down an unmanned Chinese civilian airship.

"China cannot accept the US proposal given the irresponsible and severely wrongful practice of the US side, which did not create the due atmosphere for the two militaries to carry out dialogue and exchanges," said Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense.

Tan confirmed that the US had requested a call between the two defense ministers in order to communicate with China after the US shot down the Chinese airship.

The way that the US handled the incident seriously violated international practices and set a bad precedent, he said.

"China reserves the right to respond as necessary in light of similar situations," Tan said.
