BEIJING: Describing itself as a "peace loving country," China on Monday lashed out at the United States for "exaggerating" Beijing's military strength and interfering in the nation's internal affairs.
China expresses "strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition" to a report by the US Defence Department on the nation's build-up of its military strength, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Jiang Yu said.
"The report exaggerates China's military strength and expenditure with ulterior motives," she said.
"It disseminates the 'China threat' theory, severely violates norms of international relations and wantonly interferes with China's internal affairs," she said.
As a peace-loving country, China sticks to a path of peaceful development and adopts a defensive national defence policy, Jiang said.
"The international community has a fair judgment that China is an important force in promoting peace in the Asia-Pacific and the world," she said.
"It is the responsibility of any sovereign nation to conduct necessary national defence build-up to safeguard national security and territorial integrity," she said.
"This report propagating the 'China threat theory' is completely erroneous and futile," she commented.
Asserting that "Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory," the spokeswoman said and China firmly opposes any country that interferes in its internal affairs.
The report by Pentagon said the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has acquired better missiles, submarines and aircraft. It also sought an explanation from the Asian giant to explain the purpose of such a buildup. '
