China opposes US Pentagon report

The Chinese Foreign Ministry Friday said it opposes a Pentagon military report and urged the United States to give up cold-war attitudes.

"We are dissatisfied with and opposed to some contents of the US report which groundlessly exaggerates the China threat," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said.

"China has repeatedly elaborated on its position concerning the construction on some maritime features in the South China Sea. The US side should throw away the Cold War mentality," she added.

The Chinese Foreign ministry spokeswoman called on the US to take an unbiased perspective of China's strategic intention, work together with China to advance the building of the new model of major-country relationship between China and the US following the consensus reached by the two leaders and the spirit of non-confrontation, non-conflicts, mutual respect and win-win cooperation.

"This is also in the interests of the US itself," she added.

The Chinese comments came after releasing a US military report on Wednesday, which said "China's actions are adding tension to the Asia-Pacific region," referring to China's land reclamation in the South China Sea.
