Defense ministry rejects ‘irresponsible’ US report on China’s military capabilities
The Ministry of National Defense Friday condemned a report released by the Pentagon as exaggerating the China military threat, with analysts calling for the US to drop its Cold War mentality and increase mutual trust.
“For years the US has been issuing these so-called ‘Military and Security Development in China Reports,’ making irresponsible criticisms of China’s regular defense and military construction, exaggerating the ‘China military threat,’ which is extremely wrong,” the defense ministry’s press bureau said in a statement.
