China Opposes December 18 Pentagon Report Labeling It as Military Threat, Calls U.S. Strategy Biggest Threat to Global Security
Dec 21, 2024, 12:58 PM
China's Ministry of National Defense has expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to a recent Pentagon report that characterizes China as a military threat to the United States. The report, released on December 18, has been criticized by Chinese officials for distorting China's national defense policies and amplifying the 'China threat' narrative. A spokesperson from the Ministry accused the U.S. of using its military superiority to maintain unipolar hegemony and provoke 'color revolutions.' Furthermore, the Chinese defense ministry stated that the U.S. military strategy has become increasingly confrontational and poses the biggest threat to global security. In response to the report, Chinese officials have urged the U.S. to adopt a more objective and rational perspective regarding China's military and security developments.
