BEIJING, June 9 (Xinhua) — Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin on Monday criticized the British government for inflating the so-called “China threat” in its strategic defense assessment report.
Jiang Bin made the statement at a regular briefing for journalists, commenting on the document.
The official representative stressed that China firmly adheres to the path of peaceful development and pursues a national defense policy that is defensive in nature. China has always been a defender, builder and contributor to the security system in the Asia-Pacific region.
Jiang Bin called on the British side to perceive China in the right light, to objectively and rationally consider the development of the PRC and the Chinese armed forces, and to stop inflating the so-called “China threat”.
He also added that the British side should make more practical efforts to promote the development of relations between the two countries and their armed forces. –0–
