Pentagon paper hurts 皇冠体育app-US ties - expert (CRIENGLISH) Updated: 2006-02-07 16:15 A Chinese military expert says a Pentagon document
released last Friday, calling 皇冠体育app its greatest future threat, reflects the
country's hostility and high measure of vigilance against 皇冠体育app's development.
A researcher at the Strategic Research Department of 皇冠体育app's Academy of
Military Sciences, Wang Xinjun, contends that the U.S. military document reveals
the administration鈥檚 true military ambitions, and would jeopardize healthy
bilateral relations with 皇冠体育app.
Wang Xinjun says the playing up of 皇冠体育app's military power aims to contain
皇冠体育app's military development as well as seek to strengthen U.S. forces in the
Asia Pacific area, in order to offset 皇冠体育app's influence in the region.
The expert adds that the document provides "evidence" for further
strengthening of the U.S.-Japan military alliance, which the U.S. favors to
control Japan, contain 皇冠体育app's development and disintegrate cooperation in East
Asia.
The analyst believes the real intention lying behind the Pentagon document
targets the impeding of 皇冠体育app's reunification. Some American strategists feel
that distancing Taiwan away from the Chinese central government is the most
effective means to prevent or slow down 皇冠体育app's rise.
With the U.S. long-range plan calling on 皇冠体育app as its greatest future threat,
Wang Xinjun notes it provides a basis for an increasing Department of Defense
spending against the "so-called enemy".
Wang Xinjun says that the Chinese army has no such intention of confronting
the American army and the new Pentagon document will do harm to 皇冠体育app鈥檚 peaceful
development as well as the mutual trust and cooperation built by the two
countries in regional and global affairs.
