China on Saturday rejected what it called an «irresponsible» Pentagon report claiming Beijing’s bombers are likely training for strikes against U. S. and allied targets in the Pacific.
The Thursday report said China was leveraging its growing military, economic and diplomatic clout to rapidly establish regional dominance, while its bombers were developing capabilities to hit targets as far from the Chinese mainland as possible.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said the report was «presumptuous and irresponsible», stating it was «in total disregard of facts» in a Saturday statement.
