BEIJING, September 26. /TASS/. Beijing opposes arbitrary expansion of military blocs, which negatively affects security of other states, says Wang Yi, Chinese Foreign Minister, Director of the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee Foreign Affairs Commission.

"We need to establish a favorable environment for universal security.
