“Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said the region needed peace, not division and confrontation fuelled by outside military build-up.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While Wikipedia confirms that Guo Jiakun is a real person and the current spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China (as of January 6, 2025), none of the provided evidence contains the specific quote or statement regarding the region needing peace and the opposition to military build-up. The other search results are irrelevant (restaurants and linguistic facts).
