BEIJING – Beijing is accusing Japan of making irresponsible remarks in its new defense guidelines targeting China.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu says China is a force for peace and development in Asia and threatens no one.
She accused Japan of falsely claiming to represent international opinion and said no country has the right to make irresponsible comments concerning China's development.
The Japanese guidelines announced Friday say Tokyo needs to focus on the rise of China and not the Cold War threat of Russia in defining its security goals.
