BEIJING - China's Foreign Ministry on Sunday voiced strong opposition to a Pentagon report on China's military development and security, calling on the US to have "an objective and rational understanding" of China's military strength.
"We urge the US to abandon its Cold War mindset, take off its colored glasses, and have an objective and rational understanding of China's military development," spokeswoman Hua Chunying said, referring to a report released on Saturday by US Department of Defense. She called on the US to stop issuing such biased report and refrain from any words and deeds that undermine bilateral relations and trust between the two military so as to maintain the healthy and stable growth of military relationship.
Hua expressed "strong opposition" to the US report, which ignores facts, make speculations and continues to play up the so-called China threat and lack of military transparency and casts doubts on China's normal defense building and strategic plan, Hua said. She particularly criticized the report for pointing finger at China's moves to protect territorial sovereignty and security interests in the South China Sea.
The spokeswoman reiterated China's adherence to a peaceful development path and defensive military strategy, which is a firm force in maintaining peace and stability in Asia-Pacific and the world at large. China's defense building is aimed at safeguarding national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, which is entitled to every sovereign state, Hua added.
The report also drew criticism from China's Defense Ministry, with spokesperson Geng Yansheng warning that China will make further response accordingly.
these guys are not the JV..
China now has the second-largest defense budget on earth.
Theirs is increasing, significantly, every single year.
China Communist party is not pleased with Yankee US communist party. Obammy had better watch out.
They most definitely are not. With a big and highly competent military goes ambitions to make the Pacific a Chinese lake.
The Chinese want to "level the playing field". If you are fighting on a level playing field you did not plan correctly.
Just overtook Japan as the largest foreign holder of US debt, as well.
AND we need China to keep buying our debt.
My cuz’ serves close to the DMZ. The mentality of the troops there is that that they are “really” not protecting the countries where they’re stationed but to actually checkmate China.
Colored glasses? Is that the same as Negro glasses?
- Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
- Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war. …
- Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
- Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N. …
The Chinese, they’re such jokesters.
“Checkmate” is a win. Check is not. Certainly Obama has the opposite desire to being able to keep China in check, much less try to checkmate them.
These the same ChiComs that had that map that showed how they could nuke the mainland and use the fallout to take out most of the areas not directly bombed? Nice guys, not to worry, all our military is just fun and games, for show only....amelican fool!
dirty little secret. China is funding US military. Where do you think US government get the money? By borrowing it from China
'Cause that would have been really bad.
And we are helping them pay for their military. Kinda like providing the rope to the ones that’ll hang us.
