BEIJING (AP) - China on Thursday angrily rejected a U.S. Defense Department report that says Beijing is a potential military threat, insisting that its multibillion-dollar buildup is defensive.
Beijing is "strongly resentful of and firmly opposed to" the comments in an annual Pentagon report on Chinese military power, state media quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao as saying.
Liu complained that the report "severely violated the principles governing international relations" and interfered in China's internal affairs.
