China Dismisses US Criticism of Military, Trade Policies

Voice of America, BEIJING: China has rejected a U.S. national security report that criticizes Beijing's military buildup and trade policies. Beijing calls the remarks groundless and irresponsible. 
 
The U.S. report says China's military build-up lacks transparency and criticizes Beijing's trade relations with countries that have poor human-rights records. 
 
China's state media on Monday quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang as saying the report was an interference in China's internal affairs, and harmed relations between the two countries. At a Tuesday briefing, Qin dismissed suggestions in the report that China might pose a challenge to U.S. foreign policy. 
 
“China is resolutely following a path to peaceful development,” he said. “China has made its due contribution to push forward mutual development of peace and stability in the world.” 
 
The White House report, entitled National Security Strategy, was released last week. It says China needs to abandon “old ways of thinking,” such as not revealing true military spending. 
 
Official Chinese figures show a double-digit increase in military spending over the past several years. But foreign experts say real military spending could be up to three times as high as the publicly released figures. 
 
The U.S. report also expresses concern about China's trade strategy, saying Beijing is trying to control markets instead of opening them up. The report says Beijing is acting as if it could “lock up” energy supplies around the world. It criticizes China's dealings with governments regardless of how they treat their people or behave internationally. 
 
The Chinese spokesman also rejected a report by a U.N. torture investigator calling for extensive changes to China's police and court systems, in order to reduce what it called the “widespread” use of torture. 
 
The U.N. report urges China to release political prisoners and to eliminate vague offenses such as “subverting state power,” which are often used to prosecute political and religious dissidents. 
 
Qin said much of the U.N. report's content was based on facts that had not been verified. He also said it exceeded the scope of the U.N. investigator's authority.
