Beijing, August 28 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Chinese Defense Ministry in a statement on August 26 scathingly rejected the U.S. accusations against his country.

In the annual report, titled "Military and Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of China" for 2011 the U.S. Department of Defense spoke ill of China's normal defense and army construction and played up the so-called Chinese mainland's "military threat" to Taiwan, and made groundless claims on China's policies on space and network security.

China is resolutely opposed to the report as it severely distorted the facts, the spokesman said.

"China demands that the U.S. side views China's military development in an objective and fair manner," Yang said.
