A researcher at the Strategic Research Department of China's Academy of Military Sciences, Wang Xinjun, contends that the U.S. military document reveals the administration＊s true military ambitions, and would jeopardize healthy bilateral relations with China.

Wang Xinjun says the playing up of China's military power aims to contain China's military development as well as seek to strengthen U.S. forces in the Asia Pacific area, in order to offset China's influence in the region.

The expert adds that the document provides"evidence" for further strengthening of the U.S.-Japan military alliance, which the U.S. favors to control Japan, contain China's development and disintegrate cooperation in East Asia.

The analyst believes the real intention lying behind the Pentagon document targets the impeding of China's reunification. Some American strategists feel that distancing Taiwan away from the Chinese central government is the most effective means to prevent or slow down China's rise.

With the U.S. long-range plan calling on China as its greatest future threat, Wang Xinjun notes it provides a basis for an increasing Department of Defense spending against the"so-called enemy".

Wang Xinjun says that the Chinese army has no such intention of confronting the American army and the new Pentagon document will do harm to China＊s peaceful development as well as the mutual trust and cooperation built by the two countries in regional and global affairs.
