Beijing Lays Out Security Priorities In Defence White Paper -- South China Morning Post
Defence white paper vows a stronger military, criticises US pivot to Asia-Pacific, and accuses Japan of 'making trouble' over Diaoyu Islands.
China yesterday issued its eighth defence white paper in 15 years, and warned that the country faces "multiple and complicated" security threats, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Ministry of National Defence document pledged to build a strong military "commensurate with China's international standing, and to meet the needs of its security and development interests".
It also made veiled criticism of America's so-called pivot to Asia-Pacific, implying that Washington's rebalancing of its military forces towards the region had worsened tensions.
"Some countries are strengthening their Asia-Pacific military alliances and expanding their military presence in the region, frequently making the situation there more tense," it said, without naming any state.
