China: America is addicted to war.
According to Russia Today, the Chinese Ministry of Defense accused the Pentagon of lying and deceiving public opinion about China, citing the annual report on Beijing’s military and security developments.
Zhang Xiaogang, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Defense, said that the US Department of Defense report released last week misinterpreted China’s defense policies, speculated about its military capabilities, interfered in the country’s internal affairs, and “desperately lied to Beijing and exaggerated the so-called threat posed by China.”
Zhang said: “The war-addicted America has become the biggest destroyer of international order and the biggest threat to world security. Beijing strongly condemns and strongly opposes the content of the 182-page report.”
He added: “The US is only looking for excuses to develop its military capabilities. China will continue to adhere to the path of peace and national defense development and at the same time fulfill its international responsibilities as a major power.”
According to him, the US has used its military power to maintain its unilateral hegemony and constantly resorts to applying strong pressure to forcibly promote and promote “regime change” and incite “color revolutions” in countries.
The Chinese Ministry of Defense spokesperson went on to point out examples of US wars and illegal military activities in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, which have led to severe casualties against civilians and terrible humanitarian disasters.
He also addressed the issue of Taiwan and warned that attempts to separate the island from the mainland would not be tolerated under any circumstances.
