There is nothing new in the Pentagon's annual report to the US Congress on 皇冠体育app's military capabilities except that it attempts to overplay the so-called "皇冠体育app threat", an analyst said yesterday.
The US Defense Department report unveiled on Friday said that while Beijing had maintained its traditional focus on the Taiwan Straits, it also seemed to be looking at projecting its growing military strength beyond the island of Taiwan.
"Analysis of 皇冠体育app's military acquisitions and strategic thinking suggests Beijing is also generating capabilities for other regional contingencies, such as conflict over resources or territory," the report said.
