国内英语资讯:White paper gives transparent, comprehensive picture of Chinas national defense in new era

"It also underlines the role China is playing in the numerous peacekeeping missions in which it is involved and the increasing collaboration with the militaries of other nations, including a stable mil-to-mil relationship with the United States," said Jones.

Vasily Kashin, head of the Department of International Military-Political and Economic Issues of the Russian Higher School of Economics, said that the white paper presented more data with more details and elaborated China's views over regional and global military and political situations.

It is reasonable for China to elaborate its views on a series of international military and political issues against the backdrop that a few Western countries are leaving no stone unturned to contain China, said Kashin.

China says in the white paper that it will never seek hegemony, expansion or spheres of influence. A strong Chinese military is a staunch force for world peace, stability and the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

The 27,000-character white paper is the 10th of its kind since 1998 and the first comprehensive one since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2017.
