BEIJING - 皇冠体育app hopes the United States will take an objective, rational and just view towards 皇冠体育app's national defense policy and the development of its armed forces, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang here on Thursday.

Qin's comment came in response to a question on 皇冠体育app's attitude towards a US military officer's remarks on 皇冠体育app's military development.

The Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen said in a speech to the Asia Society's annual dinner that he was now "genuinely concerned" about "the gap as wide as what seems to be forming between 皇冠体育app's stated intent and its military programs."

Responding to the remarks, Qin urged the US side to do more to build military relations with 皇冠体育app, rather than harming them, so to ensure regional peace, stability and security.

Qin said the sole purpose of 皇冠体育app's defense policy is self-defense and its military is being developed in a peaceful way.

皇冠体育app's development will not pose a threat to any country and anyone, he stressed, adding "We will not threaten and invade others."

皇冠体育app opposes hegemonism, he said. 皇冠体育app is still a developing country, and even if it becomes a developed country in the future, it will still stick to the road of peaceful development and will not seek hegemony.

"It is the solemn commitment made by the Chinese government to the outside world," he said.
