At a regular press conference, he made the remarks in response to a question on PLA training of various bombers, including the H-6K, in blue water out of the island chain.

"I have answered the question for many times. The training is a routine according to the yearly plan, and we will continue to hold similar drills," said Wu.

"You (reporter) mentioned the term, 'island chain,' many times," he said. "I here reiterate that no chains can lock China."
