National defense ministry refutes G7's smear on China

The US publishes these kinds of irresponsible and biased reports year after year,

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun told a regular press briefing

China presents the most comprehensive and robust military threat to US national security,

the report said

Xi's focus on security and stability... and securing other leaders' personal loyalty to him is undermining China's ability to solve complex domestic problems and will impede Beijing's global leverage,

the report said

We urge the G7 to abandon its Cold War mentality and ideological prejudice, and stop lecturing and pointing fingers at others. Such an approach will not work on the Chinese military,

Wu said

We have no intention of surpassing anyone or replacing anyone,

he said

China has been maintaining its nuclear arsenal at the minimum level required for national security. The G7 should reflect on its own actions and has no qualification to criticize China,

he said

China's military is fielding advanced capabilities, including hypersonic weapons, stealth aircraft, advanced submarines, stronger space and cyber warfare assets and a larger arsenal of nuclear weapons,

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told the committee

The US should stop falsely picturing China as a threat and work with China for a steady, sound and sustainable China-US relationship,

said Guo

For the ... Mexican-based cartels using precursors [industrial chemicals] produced in China,

This experience probably will challenge future US defense planning, including against other adversaries with whom Moscow is sharing those lessons learned,

the report concluded

This alignment increases the chances of US tensions or conflict with any one of these adversaries drawing in another,

it said

We urge the United States not to project its hegemonic logic onto China or view China-U.S. relations through an outdated Cold War mentality, and not to contain and suppress China under the guise of strategic competition,

Guo said

To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail",

The saying goes ... he said,

China's development is based on a clear logic of history and a strong internal driving force. Our goals, pursued in an open and honest manner, are simply to allow the Chinese people to live better lives and to make greater contributions to the world. We have no intention of surpassing or replacing any country,

Guo noted

China is determined to be a force for peace, stability and progress in the world, and also determined to defend our national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity,

There is nothing to prevent China … from cracking down on fentanyl precursors,

Ratcliffe said

China almost certainly has a multifaceted, national-level strategy designed to displace the United States as the world’s most influential AI power by 2030,

the report said

The PLA probably is making steady but uneven progress on capabilities it would use in an attempt to seize Taiwan and deter – and if necessary, defeat – US military intervention,
