The United States does not seek conflict with China and does not seek regime change in the country. This was stated by Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth during a telephone conversation with Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun. The relevant information was published on the official website of the ministry on September 10.

"Minister Hegseth has made it clear that the United States does not seek conflict with China, regime change, or the strangulation of the PRC," the statement said.

It is noted that Hegseth informed his Chinese counterpart that the United States has vital interests in the Asia-Pacific region (APR), a priority theater of possible military operations, and they will resolutely defend these interests.

"In general, the Minister and the Minister exchanged views openly and constructively. They agreed on further discussions," the Pentagon said.
